Issue:<\/h3>\n

I enabled "Ignore all firewall rules that are not listed in this profile" for version Client Security and Server Security from the Policy Manager Console's Windows > Firewall <\/strong>settings page, but still there are firewall rules enabled on the clients that aren't created by the WithSecure firewall profile.<\/p>\n

Why can there still be firewall rules created by other source than WithSecure firewall profile if it should ignore all firewall rules that are not listed in the WithSecure profile?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Resolution:<\/h3>\n

If you have Windows firewall rules enabled and configured via GPO, GPO has higher precedence than firewall rules created by the WithSecure firewall profile. The rules created via GPO can not be overridden by the firewall profile created in Policy Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
