Even my Windows Firewall is turned off still get the following warning message every hour. I can telnet to port 1433 & 4022 successfully. This is co-located SQL server on the primary site server.
SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER reports (Message ID=3353): “Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server <fqdn> ports 1433, 4022, are not active on Firewall exception.”

Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server

 <fqdn>ports 1433,4022, are not active on Firewall exception. 


Description


Can we please get a Registry key setup to prevent this message from being generated. This cause the 
CM12 site  to always be in a warning state, when the firewall is disabled. Thereby making the making the 
site stat useless!
SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER reports (Message ID=3353):
"Hierarchy Monitoring detected that the ConfigMgr SQL Server <fqdn> ports 1433,4022, are not active on 
Firewall exception."

 
I suggest that following:
Under the following Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_HIERARCHY_MANAGER

Create a Dword value called: IgnoreSQLFirewallPorts
When this value is set to 1 , the above message will never be generated
