Removing Windows Firewall from SP2 Configuration to reduce footprint

  • 项目

Hello All,

Are you looking for low footprint SP2 Image? Here is one way to reduce the footprint, if you don't need "Windows Firewall" in your configuration (Note: In general keeping windows firewall in runtime is recommended):

1. Create a new SP2 configuration and import PMQ for your system.
2. Add any other components that you want in your configuration with the following exceptions:
    A) If you add "Retail Point of Sale Terminal" macro, go to settings of this component and uncheck "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)".
    B) If you add "Home Gateway" macro, go to settings of this component and uncheck "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)".
    C) If you add "Networking Application Compatibility" macro, go to settings of this component and uncheck following:
 "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)"
 "Windows Firewall Control Panel"
 "Core Networking"
 "Connection Manager Runtime"
    D) If you add any of the following components manually in your runtime, Windows Firewall will be brought in your runtime:
 Connection Manager Runtime
 Security Center
 Windows Firewall Control Panel
 Windows .Net Messenger
3. Manually add "Core Networking" component in your configuration. Go to settings of this component and uncheck "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)".
4. Run dependency check and build image.
