Local network connections to printing devices not working after Microsoft Defender Onboarding
Hi there,
I recently onboarded our network onto Microsoft Defender. This started causing some problems, which I believe are attributed to the onboarding.
In our network( small, 15 laptops and some other devices) we print special labels by sending a file over FTP to the local IP address of the printer. This process was working fine before onboarding, and now certain clients cannot connect to the printer anymore.
Is this problem likely caused by Microsoft defender? I am not experienced with the platform so I'm unsure if some behaviour like this could be caused by it. But I am at a loss for anything else that could have caused the problem.
- Does not necessarily need to be onboarding into Defender for Endpoint (if that's the product you are mentioning here) that's causing this issue. Have you done any specific configurations in the product? Or could it be so that what you are describing is related to something else entirely, for example some other hardening or security related settings from the management tool you use to manage the devices?
