Purpose

This article describes how to enable the Microsoft Windows Firewall rules that Veeam ONE requires to collect event data from monitored Windows servers, such as Hyper-V hosts and Veeam Backup & Replication servers.

Solution

Using Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security

On a server with the Desktop Experience, enable the rules using the firewall management console:

  1. Open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security ( wf.msc ).
  2. Select Inbound Rules.
  3. Locate each rule listed below, right-click it, and select Enable Rule.
    • Remote Event Log Management (NP-In)
    • Remote Event Log Management (RPC)
    • Remote Event Log Management (RPC-EPMAP)
    • COM+ Network Access (DCOM-In)

Using PowerShell

Alternatively, launch an Administrative PowerShell terminal and run the following commands:

Set-NetFirewallRule -Name 'RemoteEventLogSvc-NP-In-TCP' -Enabled True
Set-NetFirewallRule -Name 'RemoteEventLogSvc-In-TCP' -Enabled True
Set-NetFirewallRule -Name 'RemoteEventLogSvc-RPCSS-In-TCP' -Enabled True
