Problems with proxy intune

hello everybody

I am having trouble understanding the releases that should be made on my firewall.
I'm using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/fundamentals/intune-endpoints what I don't understand is if I have to configure imbound and outbound ... because the firewall team is giving me questioning the inbound rules. for example

from                           to                                                      door
Wifi Network         portal.manage.microsoft.com                443


But when it's came back I can't just leave my wifi network i need specify one hostname.

 

 

I don´t know if i need configure the inbound? if it´s need how i configure?

 

Thanks so much

  • Hy,

    For Microsoft Intune to work, you generally only need to configure outbound rules.

    • Devices initiate connections to Microsoft cloud services (such as portal.manage.microsoft.com) over the internet, typically on port 443 (HTTPS).
    • Inbound rules are NOT required for standard Intune management, because Microsoft does not initiate connections to your devices; your devices reach out to Microsoft.

    You do NOT need to specify your WiFi network as a destination for inbound rules

    Good luck!

  • Hi,
    you only have to configure outbound rules to the specific IPs/DNS-names in the link above. There is no need for inbound communication.
    Really important is also that you configure the WNS exlucsions for everything to work correctly on Windows which is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/firewall-allowlist-config
