I have a network of approximately 150 computers that I'd like to regularly monitor. My proposed way of doing so involves running remote commands like reg query \\<ip>
or systeminfo /S <ip>
. I currently cannot do this, as the majority of the computers have the RPC service blocked in their firewall. What I cannot find clear info on is, is safe to allow a domain-level exception for RPC (port 135) for my whole network?
My main fear is that, if someone were to get into our private network, would this grant them an easier traversal than if this exception weren't in place?
