We recently started rolling out Endpoint Security. We were having some trouble running various tools leveraging RPC/WMI with the default rules, even though they worked fine under Windows Firewall. If I manually create rules locally or in the Remote Administration, I can get it to work, but I don't like ERAS since it forces me to lock users out of locally modifying rules if necessary. Since Windows Firewall worked, I tried the option to import the rules. That didn't work either, so I manually recreated Windows Firewall rules matching what was already there. That did work. Finally, I tried adding these rules to our Group Policy for Windows Firewall. These successfully applied, but Endpoint Security fails to read these rules. Can I change ES to read rules enforced by Group Policy, or is it limited to only local rules? The context sensitive help is not clear if this is an actual limitation.
