Hello;
Well no a solution was not found and it got worse.
TAC admitted they do not have allot of knowledge of this product, scary right !!
We ended up pulling out SmartProvisioning and using the firewall as a normal firewall in our SMS. I did test out the cloud version of the Smart Provisioning and was impressed with that. You have to register a domain with Check Point but that was a quick process.
It amazes Me that Check Point after all this time still has not integrated the SmartView Monitor, SmartUpdate and SmartProvisioning etc. fully into R80. Still looks like the legacy R77.x
