As an IT-Administrator of an mid-sized company with hundreds of users and lot of servers and applications, i prefer very easy-to-use tools. So, i have no time to search all the needed ports and protocols for my Microsoft-Infrastructure to configure the ZENworks firewall policy correctly.

I need more preconfigured rulesets in the policy-definition. For example i want to configure / say: ZENworks - make all of the Active Directory and ZCM stuff possible on clients, block everything else.

Today the ZCM-Firewall-Policy is for networkadmins, not for systemadmins like me. I don't use it because it seems to be to difficult. Forget 1-2 ports/protocolls and deploy the firewall and no one can work.

Make Firewall-Configuration-Options like systemadmins see the world: i. e. i see no ports, just services in my environment. So i want to allow AD-communication, block remote-tools, allow zcm-client-server-communication, block emule ;)
