Globalprotect vpn: switching to the smph vpn portal (windows os)
Note: Before attempting to switch from the Campus VPN portal, to the SMPH VPN portal. Confirm with SMPH Shared Services IT (support@med.wisc.edu) that your NetID has been enabled for access.
Most staff machines should have GlobalProtect already installed. After logging into GlobalProtect, run any updates that prompt. It's best to have the latest version. When GlobalProtect has completed the update, you will need to re-login.
