Windows Connector - Prerequistes

[chandramohans27 (Chandra Mohan S)]

Hi Experts,

For Windows Connector, I see the below pointer as one of the prerequisites.

→ Allow Exception for File and Printer Sharing in windows firewall

Could someone help me on how to configure this on window server as I see multiple places to enable this file and printer sharing in windows firewall.

@chandramohans27 - This might help -
Activate firewall rules that are relevant to non-domain profiles in order to allow traffic for File and Print Sharing.

1. Go to the Control Panel Home window.

2. Under System and Security > Windows Firewall, click the link “Allow a program through Windows Firewall”.

3. Select the “File and Print Sharing” check box then Click OK.

Hosts with Windows 10, follow these steps:

1. Go to Control Panel Home window (Start > Windows System folder > Control Panel), 2) Under System and Security > Windows Firewall, click the link “Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall”, and 3) Select the "File and Printer Sharing check box and click OK.

Mark it as solved, if it helped.
