Windows Firewall rules in intune vs local Firewall rules
Local firewall rules should be preserved and behave similar to Group Policy. The Intune policy won't wipe out the existing firewall store, but will create supplimental rules on top of the current configuration - whatever you've defined in the cloud Device Configuration Policy. You can still run PowerShell scripts or NETSH commands or use the MMC to make and manage machine-specific firewall rules.
For example, the local default File and Print Sharing rules will be there, but if you make a GPO or Intune policy, a new set of similar rules will appear (and likely be gray, indicating they're set by a policy), but you can continue to manipulate the local rules.
