Endpoint security | Firewall Configuration through Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager
Hello, is not possible to migrate firewall rules from a third-party AV solution.
To create and apply firewall rules on client machines you need a GPO or Intune.
Just a recommendation, Windows Firewall works differently than others. The windows firewall "learns" automatically and creates his own rules for all software to work fine.
So is not necessary to have a policy with many rules and apply to all machines.
Thiago_Mota Thank you so much for the response.
As of now I have created and applied the Windows Firewall through Intune with the Block inbound connections. Can we create any custom rules to allow the applications and remote connection or its learn and automatically create the rules.?
Abhishek_Pandey You can do both. It works together, as "merged". When you apply a custom rule by intune it will add to the current rules already applied to the machine that it was "learned" before.
Also, you can disable "local rules". So all the rules that the machine have "learned" before will be dismissed, and will only have the custom rules applied remotely by Intune.
I don't know if I was clear.
Thank you so much for the response Thiago_Mota
