Now Windows Agent can configure the Windows Firewall self. There are two possibilities: - For Windows Agent service you may edit Checkmk configuration file adding at the end: C+: system: firewall: mode: configure C-: and restart the Agent service or trigger a configuration reload. - For exe file, for example, <tt>\path\to\check_mk_agent.exe<\tt> using command line <tt>\path\to\check_mk_agent.exe fw -configure<\tt> will configure Firewall correctly for <tt>\path\to\check_mk_agent.exe<\tt> It is possible to make the agent remove the firewall configuration by setting the mode option to "clear" in the agent configuration file or by executing the command <tt>\path\to\check_mk_agent.exe fw -clear<\tt> Change-Id: I2ae5194b0fa77defb46974107df5f73449b55760
