Windows firewall settings for SCCM 2012 SP1 distribution point

[Elscorpio]

Hi

 

Does anyone know the exact Windows firewall settings that will allow software packages to be distributed to a distribution point ?

 

I keep getting a "ERROR DPConnection::ConnectWMI() - Failed to connect to ROBUHSCCM01 . error = 0x800706ba in the distmgr.log on the site server

 

I can distribute the packages fine if I turn off Windows firewall completely, what to do ?

 

The distribution point is installed on a Windows 7 Enterprise.

 

I looked at the port settings on the TechNet page for SCCM 2012 SP1, where you must make a rule for RPC and SMB, port 135 UDP / TCP and SMB TCP port 445.

Did I forget anything else?

Did you add the dynamic RPC ports?

Hi Peter

 

When I look at the RPC section here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832017 it becomes unclear to me what Microsoft means with dynamic RPC ports.

 

 

This is the TechNet page with all the port numbers when communicating between the site server and the distribution point and other SCCM roles:

I had a similar failure with packages not sending to my distribution point, until I opened up those dynamic ports.
