If you notice the KB carefully, it has mentioned that NTP component must be installed with Windows firewall to achieve your requested goal.
Now, you would assume how can both work together? Well, you will be using Windows firewall for monitoring the traffic. However, IPS is a component of NTP, so you can't have IPS without NTP installed.
But to avoid NTP to monitor the traffic (doing same task as windows firewall), you need to disable firewall policy from Symantec endpoint protection manager as discussed in the KB.
By doing that, you will ultimately have following configuration:
Windows firewall - Monitoring traffic
NTP with only IPS policies - IPS signatures applied (no monitoring of traffic with no firewall policies applied)
