Windows Defender Firewall: Allow ICMP exceptions

ComputerNeeds changes for IntuneWF_IcmpSettings_Name_2

Supported on At least Windows XP Professional with SP2

25H2 · 1.0

What it does

Defines the set of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message types that Windows Defender Firewall allows. Utilities can use ICMP messages to determine the status of other computers. For example, Ping uses the echo request message. If you do not enable the "Allow inbound echo request" message type, Windows Defender Firewall blocks echo request messages sent by Ping running on other computers, but it does not block outbound echo request messages sent by Ping running on this computer. If you enable this policy setting, you must specify which ICMP message types Windows Defender Firewall allows this computer to send or receive. If you disable this policy setting, Windows Defender Firewall blocks all the listed incoming and outgoing ICMP message types. As a result, utilities that use the blocked ICMP messages will not be able to send those messages to or from this computer. If you enable this policy setting and allow certain message types, then later disable this policy setting, Windows Defender Firewall deletes the list of message types that you had enabled. If you do not configure this policy setting, Windows Defender Firewall behaves as if you had disabled it. Note: If any policy setting opens TCP port 445, Windows Defender Firewall allows inbound echo requests, even if the "Windows Defender Firewall: Allow ICMP exceptions" policy setting would block them. Policy settings that can open TCP port 445 include "Windows Defender Firewall: Allow file and printer sharing exception," "Windows Defender Firewall: Allow remote administration exception," and "Windows Defender Firewall: Define inbound port exceptions." Note: Other Windows Defender Firewall policy settings affect only incoming messages, but several of the options of the "Windows Defender Firewall: Allow ICMP exceptions" policy setting affect outgoing communication.

Why it needs changes for Intune
  • Policy references a Windows supportedOn definition.
  • ADMX-INTUNE-WINDOWS-SUPPORTEDON-REFERENCE

In Intune

No native CSP; import the ADMX (needs changes first).

From Microsoft's Policy CSP DDF files (DDF v2 Files, February 2026), read 18 Oct 2026.

  • Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
  • The generated payload is incomplete because one or more ADMX element values were not supplied: WF_IcmpSettings_AllowOutboundDestinationUnreachable, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowOutboundSourceQuench, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowRedirect, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowInboundEchoRequest, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowInboundRouterRequest, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowOutboundTimeExceeded, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowOutboundParameterProblem, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowInboundTimestampRequest, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowInboundMaskRequest, WF_IcmpSettings_AllowOutboundPacketTooBig
