VPN Client Support

Anonymous

The info page for the new Samsung RT tablet - the ATIV tab - says:

Enterprise Solutions (upon request): Exchange ActiveSync, On-Device Encryption, Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network), Juniper Junos Pulse VPN, EAS

But the Junos Pulse client is not in the Windows Store - so either Samsung has some exclusive deal with Juniper, or this is a "coming soon" feature.

I'd like an answer. As much as I love the Surface hardware, if I cannot get the last piece of the puzzle I need for work, the Pulse client, and it is available on another vendor's tablet, I'll need to think about switching.

I would really like an answer from Microsoft on this one.

And to re-confirm - the ATIV is a Windows 8 RT tablet, NOT a Windows 8 Pro tablet.

    Is this thread dying? Or is there a new one that has some progress about the topic?

    Greetings all,

    Sorry for the delayed response. I do not have any new information regarding VPN support unfortunately.

    TKsurface, I believe the link that you are seeking is here:

    How can we make pressure to make this a priority?

     

    I have no interest in the pro.  I found the Surface RT limit in term of size.   Don't want a ticker tablet with shorter battery life.

     

    If I can get the Junos VPN client I can use my surface to access my office computer when needed.

    One way is to convince everyone you know to buy a surface RT.

    More power in numbers

    Once enough people own win RT, people will bend over backwards for us.... even Google
