    Is it possible to set up a policy that so when the SEP client is installed on a server/workstation it disables the Windows Firewall?

    SEP can do this automatically, see here:

    Using (Enabling) Windows Firewall with Symantec Endpoint Protection Network Threat Protection installed

    About Windows Firewall and Symantec Endpoint Protection's NTP

    Best Practices for using Windows Firewall with Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1

     

    Go into your SEPM firewall policy and select the 'Windows Integration' tab

    From here you can configure SEP to handle the Windows firewall as you see fit.

    by default when you install SEP with Firewall enabled in any windows os it will disable the windows firewall, no manual intervention/settings is required.

    I'm noticing on servers where the client is installed that the firewalla is enabled and running
