I do not have much firewall configuration experience and need help in this case:<br />
<br />
Got a situation where there are 3 servers: 1 is a DC/Exchange, 1 is a Terminal Server, and 1 is an application server.<br />
Windows firewall is off on all 3.<br />
When I enable Windows Firewall in the DC/Exchange, I just use the default settings, without changing anything: domain users are unable to do anything on the network.<br />
What ports should I open to at least get them started and then take it from there?<br />
Thank you!.<br />

Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
