3. Right click the new object and select Edit.
4. Select Local Computer Policy | Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Network | Network Connections | Windows Firewall | Domain Profile.
5. Double click the Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions
6. Select Enabled on the Setting tab.
7. Click on the Show button to bring up the port exception list.
8. Click on the Add button.
9. Add the following exception “135:TCP:*:enabled:Remote Service Management”
10. Link the GPO to any OUs containing the devices desired to be provisioned by Smart Client Provisioning.
