Multiple Windows Firewall Entries by Acronis
I have just noticed that on our Windows Server 2016 there are numerous
duplicate entries (mostly 4-5) for multiple Acronis services/apps in the Windows
Firewall (see attached screenshot).
They look like they are exactly the same, even when viewing their advanced properties
in Windows Firewall's advanced mode.
Why is that ?
Could it be that every Acronis 12.5.X UPDATE creates some new entries
on installation,thus creating duplicates for some of its apps/services?
We have installed about 3-4 Acronis 12.5.X updates since setting up the server last October,
so that would fit...
Is my theory correct? Can the duplicates be safely deleted?
PS: If I'm correct, this should be fixed!
Thank you!

FYI: manually deleting the duplicate rules (i.e. leaving only one rule for each
Acronis component) using the advanced firewall config seems to work fine.
