Hi experts,<br />
i just configure firewall settings via group policies in a windows server 2008 environment.<br />
I just want to enable the exception groups which are predefined on each server.<br />
What i did was to configure the advanced firewall settings in group policy, created predefnied inbound rules there which names matches them in the firewall exceptions.<br />
<br />
Result is that there are created new rules with the same name on the servers firewall exception rules, so i have duplicate entries<br />
How can i just enable those?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance

OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
