Firewall issues in a Windows 10 member PC
I am performing some tests in a lab environment.
I installed a Windows Server 2019 server and promoted it to a domain controller for the root domain of a new forest.
I installed a Windows 10 client and joined it to the domain.
From the Domain Controller I cannot manage the Windows 10 member PC (i.e. I cannot use Group Policy Results) because the firewall is activated.
If I disable the firewall in the client (either manually or via Group Policy) everything works fine.
Is it the standard behavior or am I missing any relevant step?

- Reza_AmeriSilver ContributorHow did you set the firewall, is it private or public?
Did you add the PC to the domain?
Are you able to ping from Server or Client?
Are you using Windows Firewall?- Marius_RomaBrass ContributorMany thanks for your answer.
Let me clarify: I did not set anything. I simply installed Windows 10 "next" "next" "next".
I joined the PC (a VM) to a domain.
At that point I discovered that the firewall was enabled for all the networks (private, public and domain).
My questions are:
- Is it the standard behavior?
- Am I missing any relevant step?
- Should the firewall stay enabled for a Windows 10 member PC, even if it does limit some domain funcions (i.e. Group Policy Results)?
- What is the best practice?

Thank you Marius_Roma for your response.
The expected behavior would be you just connect to the domain and with Windows Firewall on , it will work as expected.
I suggest open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
Try run Windows Update and install all updates and restart your PC and see if problem persist?
Check the Event viewer and see if there is any failure in the client side?
