Andrew,

When I add

'Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“remote administration” new enable=yes'

I get an error 'Group cannot be specified along with other identification conditions.'

I originally had 'netsh firewall set opmode disable' set and even once I change back to 'netsh firewall set opmode enable' and run your command above I am still shown the same error message.

Any ideas? or should it have something to do with 'netsh advfirewall set currentprofile settings remotemanagement enable' via the TechNet document <a href="http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/47a23a74-e13c-46de-8d30-ad0afb1eaffc1033.mspx?mfr=true">here</a>

Cheers,

Stephen Edgar

Hmm, what build was this on? I just tried this on a recent build, clean installation, and it ran without any errors. I then disabled the remote administration rules, ran the 'netsh firewall set opmode disable' and tried it again and it worked without errors.

I notice in my post and your comment that the quotation marks have been changed to the fancy angle quotes. If you copied and pasted into a TS window, did the quotes appear correctly as basic/plain quotes? (not sure the right terms here).

Btw, the step by step guide is in the process of being updated with this information as well as what I'm working on for my next post.

NetWeb, run your command again without copying and pasting from Technet. I hit the same problem and it looks like the double quotes might be part of a different character set.

Worked fine when I just typed it.
