Install the firewall protection service via policy 

Use this option to install the firewall protection service automatically whenever client computers

this option is disabled.

Enable firewall protection 

Specify whether the firewall protection service monitors inbound communications and Internet 
applications. By default, this feature is enabled.

Enabling this feature can result in unattended installations on computers where no one is

feature is used to install the firewall protection service on a server, it is important to configure 
essential system services first, to prevent disruptions.
