You may have not allowed UDP >1023, which opens UDP wide open 1024 and
above, but required by DCs and Windows clients.
Normally, we'll leave the firewall service disabled on a DC and rely on an
entrance point device that uses stateful packet inspection to protect the
network. Firewalled DCs can become problematic.
