Allow file and printer sharing

Note: If you use role-based administration:
  • You must have the Policy setting - firewall right to configure a firewall policy.
  • You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.

For more information, see Managing roles and sub-estates.

To allow computers to share local printers and folders on the network:

  1. Check which firewall policy is used by the group(s) of computers you want to configure.
  2. In the Policies pane, double-click Firewall, and then double-click the policy you want to change.
  3. On the File and printer sharing page of the Firewall Policy wizard, select Allow file and printer sharing.
