MP.JL.CISW11INT.L1.160 Enable Public Network Firewall: Log File Path is set to True: %SystemRoot%\System32\logfiles\firewall\publicfw.log
Description
CIS Microsoft Intune for Windows 11 Benchmark, recommendation 37.22 (Level 1).
The test passes when an assigned settings catalog policy for Windows sets Firewall > Enable Public Network Firewall to True, with Log File Path set to %SystemRoot%\System32\logfiles\firewall\publicfw.log in the same policy, and no other assigned policy sets it to something else.
Remediation action
- In the Microsoft Intune admin center, go to Devices > Configuration and open (or create) a settings catalog policy for Windows 10 and later.
- Add Firewall > Enable Public Network Firewall and set it to True, then set Log File Path to %SystemRoot%\System32\logfiles\firewall\publicfw.log.
- Assign the policy to your Windows devices, and remove any other assigned policy that sets it to something else.
