Windows defender blocking Powerbi.com
We are facing issues with defender blocking microsoft.com. Tried manually to white list the dsn but that's also returning the same error as in the screenshot below
This is only on windows machine in our org. Has anyone seen it before?
Hi! Abhimanyu_Singh
I think this is due to the firewall issue and you need to whitelist the IPs for your region that can be found here- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56519. Way back I helped a client with this, as this changes weekly so you might have to raise a ticket to MS support, If you have a Pro license you can open a Pro ticket at https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/newsupportticket/powerbi
Otherwise you can raise an issue at https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues.as I don't have the access to the previous email so I was not able to extract the exact answer to this.
Thank you, AnkitKukreja , for your response.
