The Windows Firewall has different default configurations on Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012. The following Windows Firewall exceptions are configured during component installations and upgrades:
The NFR Engine must remain permitted to make outbound connections.
The NFR Engine must remain able to listen on port 3035.
This is the default port choice that is presented during the installation and configuration.
The NFR Agent must remain permitted to make outbound connections.
The NFR Agent must remain able to listen on port 3037.
This is the default port choice that is presented during the installation and configuration.
On each server running Windows Server 2008 or later and hosting storage that you wish to collect quota via proxy, you must enable the Remote File Server Resource Manager Management - FSRM Service (RPC-In) firewall rule.
On servers running Windows Server 2008, the firewall settings are applicable to each of three different categories of network interfaces that are identified based upon their IP address range (public IP addresses versus private IP addresses) and whether or not the computer is a member of a domain.
Depending upon the specific environment where Novell File Reporter is installed, the firewall might need to have these exceptions enabled in one or more of the following categories:
Domain
Private
Public
