Firewall problems.

[JohnnyLundgren]

Hello,

I want to know which firewall ports need to be open to be able to run Download installed patches and reboot if required.

The vm in question resides in a DMZ and it is the Windows firewall needing to be configured primarily.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Johnny Lundgren

Johnny – In order for BatchPatch to work, the Windows Firewall must allow RPC communication, which is required for WMI to work. Additionally, you must allow File and Printer sharing. This is described in more detail on the following page:

Using BatchPatch With Windows Firewall

There is also some additional helpful info here:

With regard to authentication, you’ll also want to make sure that you look at this link too:
