The following procedure presumes that you are using the firewall delivered by Microsoft with Windows 2012 R2 Server. If you are using third-party firewall software, please consult that product's documentation.

You must configure the firewall on the Windows 2012 R2 Server computer as described below for the Name Generator to run:

  • All RPC Dynamic Ports in the firewall must be open in order for the Name Generator to communicate with the client computers.

  • The Name Generator must be able to communicate with the SQL Server default instance running over TCP and the SQL Server Browser service.

The firewall can reset itself to its default settings. If you encounter an error, review your Windows Firewall settings and verify that they are as outlined in this procedure.
