Firewall modifications (continued)
DescriptionConfiguration
Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 contain a firewall
that is enabled by default. If the firewall is enabled, you
might not be able to install or deploy the client software
remotely.
You can temporarily disable the Windows firewall on the
clients before you deploy the client software.
If you leave the Windows firewall enabled on the clients,
you must configure it to allow file and printer sharing (port
445).
Modify the firewalls in
Windows Vista or Windows
Server 2008
Warning: The firewall in Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition
is disabled by default at initial installation. Leave the Windows firewalls enabled
on the clients to ensure firewall protection.
See “Enabling firewall protection” on page 134.
Preparing computers for remote deployment
Table 4-3 lists the actions to prepare your computers for remote deployment of
the client software. See your Windows documentation for more information.
