Why is it my newly installed checkpointR77.iso in vmware have errorr when connecting using R77 smartconsole in windows server2012 ? the server can ping and access the web UI of both gaia gateway FW and gaia management FW.
Just to summarize (and mark the answer correct), this is a known issue described in the following SK:
The TL;DR:
Workarounds:
Known issue for all fresh installs of R77.30 prior to Take 143 and lower after January 24th 2018.
ive tried option
1. Choose 'Certificate Authority' option
2. Press 'y' to initialize the CA
then after there is instruction to run pidof cpca, iver tried not in expert
mode its invalid command, then i tried in expert nothing happens still
cannot be intiated.

The problem is that by default the CA sets the expiration date to 20 years in the future.
That date is beyond what can be stored by the Unix epoch, which is why you cannot reinitialize the CA.
Which means you either need to:
1. Get the appropriate hotfix from TAC
2. Use a version unaffected by this issue (R77.30 with JHF 143 and above or R80.10)
this is a fresh install from the R77.30 iso in my vmware, with trial license...can i still be able to download the JHF to solve the problem?
You should be able to retrieve the latest Jumbo Hotfix from CPUSE prior to completing the First Time Wizard.
i have already configured default gateway, dns 4.2.2.2 and the firewall can ping the dns, is there anything i miss?
Check to see if you can reach the cloud servers using sk83520
this is the output, what does it mean?
It would be helpful to see the output of all the commands, not just the last one (which looks successful).
The one previous to the one with Sigcheck looks like it might be interesting to check.
Or we can skip the troubleshooting and you can just download the offline version of the latest jumbo hotfix.
is there a way for me to download the horfix so that i can resolve this error, this is a fresh install GAIA R77.30... but the smartdashboard fail to connect..
Anyone who has a support agreement in place should be able to download the file.
If you do and you're seeing this, please check with Account Services: Contact Support | Check Point Software
It also appears that we've now included the relevant fix in the R77.30 images available on UserCenter.
You may be able to obtain temporary authorization to download these files by working with your account team.
so that means if i dont have access to that link(my account is not capable) i dont have chance to fix this issue?
Unfortunately, most bugfixes and software releases are only available to those who are covered by an active Support agreement.
how to register that can download the hotfix, my customer has a licensed
device, how to know if he can avail to download?

If the customer has a support agreement, they can can add you as a contact for their User Center account.
This would allow you to download the file.
Account Services should be able to verify entitlement: Contact Support | Check Point Software
they are askin me how can they register, cuz he already made an account but
still cannot download anything. his accoun is just the same as me, how to
make an account is there a link where to key in the serial number or
whatsoever?

Account Services can assist you with these issues.
If you still can't get the hotfix for this, another option is to set the system date to something before 24th January 2018 prior to running the First Time Wizard.
This should allow the creation of the Internal CA to succeed and resolve the issue you are experiencing.
Afterwards, you can reset the system time to the current time.
However, I strongly recommend resolving your entitlement issues so you can download the proper hotfix for this and others you may need.
thank you i will try that one

after importing the file.TAR.gz this is what i receive
Sounds like the file you are trying to load is somehow corrupt.
I recommend checking the file MD5/SHA1 hash to validate the file you are trying to load the correct file.
Finally I was able to resolve my connection issue after a month of investigation.

Note you need a Checkpoint Account
SmartUpdate doesn't require a license to operate.
It does, however, require there be a valid Internal CA, which you didn't have due to the bug described in this thread.
