Can I enable Public Firewall Settings & what will be its Effect on Windows Server 2019

Dear Community,

 

Can I Enable Public Firewall Settings or not and what will be its effect on Windows Server 2019.

 

I have below Feautures and Roles installed:

 

  • Hyper-V
  • Active Directory
  • Clustering
  • Hyper-v Replication
  • RDP
  • Kaspersky AntiVirus
  • DNS
  • DHCP
  • AD-SYNC
  • Domain Controllers
  • AD REcycleBin
  • Few more 

 

Will enabling Public Firewall Settings impact Windows Server any of the Services etc?

    Yes, if you have the Public profile in use on your domain members then there are bigger fish to fry.   

     

    Get-NetConnectionProfile

     

  • Since you have active directory domain services the public firewall profile would not be in effect, assuming health is good the domain firewall profile should be in effect.

        So that means I can safely Enable Public Firewall Profile on my Servers without worrying about its impact on the Domain Related Roles/Features and Services etc.
