Fortinet Upgrades During the week of July 19th, we upgraded the remainder Fortinets to the latest version v4.0,build0279,100519 (MR2 Patch 1) This interface is much different and has required some relearning. Not sure if we like the new interface yet? MR2 Patch 2 is out and has performance improvements to GUI. We have not yet done this upgrade to anyone. Looking for a volunteer with good date and time?
