Windows Security - Java(TM) Platform SE binary

[Bankesy]

Good afternoon all,

 

Hoping somebody can point out where I might be going wrong here with the attached screenshot, in steps:

 

1. Arduino is installed via Intune as a Windows Store app

2. Upon first launch, students are met with the attached screenshot

3. So I added the exact path from the screenshot to an existing computer GPO for Windows Firewall rules and I can see the rule is applied if I check Windows Firewall on the client

4. Students are still met with the screenshot when launching Arduino

 

I thought adding a rule for that path would stop the students from being prompted and just allow it to run but maybe I am misunderstanding something here.

 

Any advice welcome, thanks in advance.

Try just doing the exe maybe, as that path could change with updates?

@BKGarry thanks for the suggestion, have tried that and noted this interesting (to me anyway) observation:

 

On the client side, the firewall rule for the exe only shows as applied by administrator and cannot be edited, this differs to my rule with the whole path which does not show this. I didn't create a new rule for the exe only, just changed the one that previously had the whole path so now I have two questions as to why on the client side the rule with the full path wasn't just overwritten to be the exe only and why the exe only rule shows with admin restrictions and the path rule doesn't? Maybe because the path rule has been 'left behind' and is now seen as local only?

 

On another note, if I use the prompt in the screenshot to add the rule, it adds a duplicate rule, the exact same as the rule I created with the full path. In my mind it would complain about a duplicate and oddly it seems to honor the rule that gets created from the prompt but not the one from GPO.

So maybe I was wrong when I said I had used the "exact" path, that will teach me to type instead of copy\paste

 

Turns out, one those underscores is two underscores together...all working now
