To deploy a Windows Firewall policy

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, click Assets and Compliance.

  2. In the Assets and Compliance workspace, expand Endpoint Protection, and then click Windows Firewall Policies.

  3. In the Windows Firewall Policies list, select the Windows Firewall policy that you want to deploy.

  4. On the Home tab, in the Deployment group, click Deploy.

  5. In the Deploy Windows Firewall Policy dialog box, specify the collection to which you want to assign this Windows Firewall policy, and specify an assignment schedule. The Windows Firewall policy evaluates for compliance by using this schedule and the Windows Firewall settings on clients to reconfigure to match the Windows Firewall policy.

    Important

    When you deploy a Windows Firewall policy to a collection, this policy is applied to computers in a random order over a 2 hour period to avoid flooding the network.
