    Hi All,

    When (inside the SEP firewall policy -> Windows Integration) I select "disable always" (windows firewall), is disabled\stopped the Windows Firewall service or the sevice is left run even if the Windows firewall functionalities are disabled and substituted by NTP's SEP?

    Thanks

    Thanks James007 for your reply,

    so the service is disabled, not only the Windows firewall functionalities. Is it correct?

    It turns off Windows firewall. It does not disable the WF services.

    It's disabled Windows firewall functionalities not services.

    The WF service is still running, SEP just stops the WF state:
