I recently installed a fancy new firewall for a client. Out of the box, the web filtering policies are blocking the installation of Office 365 apps from Microsoft.
Curious, yes.The category responsible for blocking is Risky Downloads. Installing Office Apps? Risky, indeed.
I had to add a Web Protection Exception with the following entries:
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?microsoft\.com/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?windowsupdate\.com/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?officecdn.microsoft.com.edgesuite.net/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?officecdn.microsoft\.com/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?windows\.com/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?windowsupdate\.com/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?officecdn.microsoft.com.edgesuite.net/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?officecdn.microsoft\.com/
^([A-Za-z0-9.-]*\.)?windows\.com/
What a wonky syntax. Can you guess what the firewall vendor is?
