Disabling file and print sharing in windows firewall?

amitshah2003uk

Hi guys I wish to remotely enable file and print sharing in the exeptions tab of windows firewall for 35 computers.

But I am not sure how to do this remotely from a batch file

I have tried creating a batch file which reads computers from a text file and uses the comand below along with psexec:

netsh firewall set service type = FILEANDPRINT mode = ENABLE

but it keeps saying the default admin share is not enabled.

Your surgestions will be a great help

Thanks

Are you trying to do this remotely on computers that already have the firewall turned on? Think about that for a second....

Put ze Puters on an OU then apply kustom GP

Poke around the CompConf/WinSet/AdminTemps/Network/NetConn/WinFirewall

You might just say "Ahh!"

Now I'm off for my monthly cleaning of my unhappy/dusty PC

NetAdmin2436

+2 for group policy.

This is basically what somedudefromthenet once said

. Scroll to the bottom of this link, and it will become more clear.

Thanks guys your the best.

Done the following

Logged on to a computer that is a member of the domain and has Windows XP SP2 installed, with an account that is a member of the Group Policy Creator Owners security group.

From the Default Domain Policy navigated to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Network, Network Connections and then Windows Firewall
