Internet Connection Firewall is Blocking BES Traffic - BES Relay/Server (WSH disabled)
| 0 Votes |
Description
Both UDP and TCP packets are used by the BES Server and BES Relays to send information about new actions and fixlets. After configuring Windows Firewall to allow inbound traffic on the BES Listen Port, BES Servers and BES Relays will resume normal communication.
Note: After this action is applied, affected BES Relays will not report until they have performed their standard once-per-day gather or until the BES Relay is restarted.
Note: Running the actions below may cause client machines to briefly display pop-up and command prompt windows.
Note: Windows Scripting Host is disabled for this computer and it will be temporarily enabled to run a script which will configure ICF to allow inbound TCP and UDP connections. WSH will be disabled immediately after the script has run.
