According to our company security team, SMB Ports and
Netbios ports needs to be blocked as most of hacker
attached are performed as open ports such as these.

Even after disabling Netbios port, all workstation are
able to connect to this server, which is Active directory,
domain controller, but another server on our network lost
connection to this server.

Thanks for your help.
