Endpoint Protection

Have SEP version 11.0.6005.562  clietns in SEP pretercted firewall group however recent Windows updates to Window 7 systems put the firewall back in windows control. A repair on the client seems to fix it. What am I missing here? 

Hello,

Does this happen on All Microsoft Updates on Windows 7 Machines??

Was the Windows 7 Firewall Turned off after you had the Symantec Network Threat Protection Installed??

You can disable Windows Firewall after installing Symantec firewall as installing two firewalls may cause potential network access issue.

In fact, during the installation of SEP, Windows Firewall should be disabled.

You can check the following Article:

Windows Firewall is still enabled after installing Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.

Again, after the Microsoft updates you need to Restart the machine.

Hope that helps!!
