Once the script is finished it enables the NICs and reboots the PC. After installation a script is run which tweaks several hundred settings (Like task bar, explorer settings, etc), and installs several applications.

Windows is always installed with all NICs disabled to prevent any internet access by Windows during the install phase. The Windows installs are customized using MSMG Toolkit to de-bloat Windows.

The PCs have differing hardware specifications. I run a 3rd party AV (Currently Avast Free). Some of those applications are Windows executable such as wscript, notepad etc. I am looking to block incoming and outgoing traffic for a set of about 300 IPs/domains and a couple dozen applications. Assuming this to be true I will have to replace the Windows Firewall with a 3rd party product. For this exercise I'm only concerned about the Windows 10 PCs because Windows will ignore rules on it's own firewall if those rules attempt to block any of Microsoft's telemetry (according to reports from multi security researchers).
