hi,

to configure windows firewall rule programs, in group policy firewall configuration wizard, need specify program path or select “all programs” option. use option match network packets going or specified program, can select program in 1 of 2 ways:

    • type complete path program. can include environment variables, appropriate.
      note: recommend not use environment variable strings resolve in context of user (for example, %userprofile%). when there strings evaluated service @ runtime, service not running in context of user. use of these strings can produce unexpected results.
    • click browse button find program in directory.

for scenario, “javaw.exe” installing java(tm) 2 platform standard edition binary user profile current date time value. firstly, it’s not recommended create firewall rule in user context environment variable, seconded program “javaw,exe” doesn’t have fixed file path. seems can’t configure such firewall role using group policy.

after research, found posters mentioned jave program use variable %path%, may contact jave support confirm that.

for more information please refer following articles:
