Hi,
I am aware how to disable it through command prompt need to check more to know about uninstall.
To disable SEP client firewall service
smc -disable –ntp
To enable client firewall service
smc -enable -ntp
If the SEP client UI is password protected:
smc -disable -ntp -p <password>
I hope it's been informative.

I want to keep NTP - IPS , but just want to remove the firewall feature as the customer ses the Windows firewall. If I disable the symantec firewall from the client GUI - it shows up as an error and I dont want to SEP client to display an error -I have 35000 machines that I need to do this on. The install package had the SEP firewall enabled - that was a mistake - I need to remove the firewall component ONLY from NTP but keep IPS still active.
Hello,
Why not uninstall the Firewall Feature by deploying a new package via Auto-upgrade Feature from SEPM.
Check this Article:

Note: A Restart may be required for uninstalling NTP Firewall.
However, in reference to the MSI command line to the SEP 12.1, its in the documentation as mentioned by Paul here

SEP 12 have the feature to work IPS without NTP. hence you can disable.

What is the network impact of using the autoupgrade ?
1) Clients have same version- just feature removed
2) Clients have older version - upgrade of client
the package sent to client is the impact.
ofcourse the module removal will lessen the security..
Cheers!

I was thinking more along the lines of - does it send the entire package as a whole to the machine to be upgraded or does it break it up into smaller data packets and then putting it altogether to upgrade.
