Hi again Jeff Woolslayer

A strange new development occured with v.1809 installation. Although I can access gateway locally I get error 500 trying to access it from anywhere else. That doesn't happen with other servers that have v.1808 installed. (The setup is: Wn Server 2016, valid certificate (not self signed). I did the most common steps like clearing cache on client machine, refreshing dns etc still the error remains. As I said I know the service is running cause I can access gateway locally. Any ideas?

Thank You

We are tracking a known issue that can cause the firewall rule to be deleted, which would causes this.

To check of the firewall rule exists -

Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "SmeInboundOpenException"

If the rule is missing, use this to recreate it replacing <port> with the port configured for Windows Admin Center (default 443.) -

New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "SmeInboundOpenException" -Description "Windows Admin Center inbound port exception" -LocalPort <port> -RemoteAddress Any -Protocol TCP
