Juniper Network Connect (VPN) on Windows 7

Question

My company uses Juniper networks for vpn access. I am unable to get the juniper network connect client to work on windows 7 64-bit. It used to work before but after I formatted my system it gives the following error every time I start the vpn client

If I check the logs I see this error

The Juniper Network Connect Service service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly.

Found the problem. You need to have SP1 installed and automatic updates does not do this for you.

Solution 2

Windows 7 and Juniper Network Connect 6.3 - Tech & Computer Forums

Try the links from the above post and download Juniper Networks Version 6.3. It will work, because it worked for me:

• Windows 7 32-bit
• Windows 7 64-bit

Solution 3

Try this: JHConnect Installers

Install the second link (Microsoft Windows 64-bit (Including XP, Vista, and Windows 7)) at your own risk and follow the instructions.

This worked perfectly for me. I was struggling with 64 bit for quite some time and now it works.

Solution 4

For those of you like me whom the answer didn't work, this might:

• Open services (Start->Rune "services.msc").
• Look for "Juniper Network Connect Service"
• If it is stopped, try to start it.
• If it does not start, check the "Path to executable:" in the service dialog box.
• If path is incorrect, open registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\dsNcService
• Fix the path.
• Start dsNetworkConnect.exe (or otherwise launch Juniper network client)
