SnapCenter Plugin for Windows (SCW)

Issue

- SCW plugin installation attempts (via Gui and command line) fail due to the SMCore package being unable to create a firewall rule.
- The SMCore_Package log shows an "Access is denied" error when attempting to create the firewall rule for the SMCore service despite the SCW service account being a local administrator on the host:
