Resolution

You may notice 'Windows Security Alerts' related to the Firewall changes.  Applications that need access through the domain firewall policies will prompt for an exception. If you have a pop-up for an application, like the example one for Teams below, we'll need a ticket submitted with that screenshot so we can create rules to allow that application to run properly.  IT will need to create the rules to allow these applications to function properly. Please fill out this form: Windows Defender Security Alert Error while including a screenshot or picture of the prompt. You can press the X on the upper right hand corner and continue working on other tasks.
