Nice chicken-and-egg scenario, huh? You have two choices: 1. allow client conenctions, but limit them to authenticated access only (drop "Everyone" from all ACLS) 2. move the client install folder (in its entirety) to a web server and let them pull it from there.

My question is how to install the Firewall client using the UNC path on the server while the server is not available on the Network ?
