Managing suspicious activity with best practices
5
Before installing the firewall protection service on a server, ensure that the server’s
system services and Internet applications are configured correctly. If there is a possibility
the service might be installed when no user is present to monitor the installation, disable
the policy setting for
Automatically install the desktop firewall on all computers using this
policy
. (See Install the firewall protection service via policy on page 114).
When running the firewall protection service on a server, ensure that service ports are
configured correctly to prevent disruption of system services (see Configure system
services for a custom connection on page 117). Ensure that no unnecessary ports are
open.
For maximum protection, set the firewall protection service to Protect mode to
automatically block suspicious activity (see Select a firewall protection mode on
page 115).
