Microsoft has provided a Firewall for nearly a decade now. The firewall is designed to help protect the local computer against attacks, plus to limit the inbound and outbound communications to that computer. Needless to say, up until now most companies have ignored the local firewall in lieu of a perimeter firewall. If there has been a local firewall put in place and configured for Windows computers, it was a third party firewall.
The best thing is that it actually works! Here, I will give you a bit of info on the firewall, what the defaults are, and what additional options are available. The Windows Firewall is no different. Here, I will show you the best way to view the firewall settings, based on my experience. In order to view the Windows Firewall, you will want to get into the Server Manager.
When Server Manager starts, it will look like Figure 1. Now that you are in Server Manager, you can find the Windows Firewall by opening the Configuration node, then selecting the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security node. After selecting these nodes, you should see a window similar to that in Figure 2. Figure 2: Windows Firewall with Advanced Security interface. One of the biggest changes that Microsoft has made to the Windows Firewall over the years is to integrate the firewall settings with IP Security settings.
IP Security is one of the most powerful technologies that is around to help protect local computers. IP Security provides options for specifying which computers or networks can communicate with other computers or networks. The options are very granular and IP Security also includes the ability to encrypt the data communications. Yeah, I scratched my head too. The second question in my email was to address the apparent lack of support for Server products as listed on their main product page :.
The reply to that was a link to a much more comprehensive requirements spec on their help page here. So far, and not yet even having looked at the installer since downloading it, Comodo seems to be a bit I can only hope that it is a case of absent minded staff and their products are better than their website upkeep.
Comodo has been a great product. ESM is really just a glorified install program to push the client out to the workstations on a domain although it will work in other scenarios. ClamAV will work on servers except it does not handle real-time scanning; only Manual, initiated scanning.
Does anybody know if Clam is compatible with Server ? My physical server is going to be running if that makes any difference. I'd imagine that it can be installed, even if it is not on the supported list. One of the main reasons I never pursued Clam as a server product was all the "hacks" to get it to work, but even then without any RT scan capabilities. According to acald, there is a development to use Clam in a RT scan, but doing it as a 3rd party.
Not something I would look to use on any type of server worth having AV on. I'll be installing Comodo tonight on my lab STD server to see how well it handles a clean system and what kind of idle loads it sustains. Well, 72 hours in and the only major kink was that Comodo tried to push a software update with a non-administrative user logged in and jammed itself up. Logging out allowed it to straighten itself out, but will have to wait and see what the folks at Comodo have to say about it.
Otherwise, it seems to be running smoothly. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question. Get answers from your peers along with millions of IT pros who visit Spiceworks. Best Answer. View this "Best Answer" in the replies below ». Spiceworks Help Desk. The help desk software for IT.
