DirectAccess / Windows Firewall client rules

Hi all,

I have a question regarding Windows Firewall on Windows 7 and 8 clients running with a DirectAccess connection.

As far as I've seen, when a DirectAccess tunnel over IP-HTTPS is established, the client computer Firewall recognize that connection as 'Public' and therefore it applies the Public profile... Is there any way to set the Windows Firewall profile as"Domain" instead?

When users are connected to a DirectAccess tunnel we would like to apply the same rules as for when they're connected on the Domain network to avoid opening ports and extra rules on the Public profile.

Thanks.
