I know the best way to do this is through group policy, however that's not an option right now due to our really old server running Win Server SB 2003 (we're planning on decommissioning it asap, but that'll still be several months from now.)
Anyway, I've tried looking for .reg files to script the new firewall rules, but they don't seem to do anything. I found registry entries under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules that seem to be what I'm after, but when I execute that reg file the rules are not actually added anywhere. I've found a way to do this with Powershell as well, but unfortunately, one of the rules I need to enable is Windows Remote Management, which is what allows PS to run on the remote machines...
I just found a psexec command to do this, but that doesn't seem to be working either... I need to do this to 30-40 computers so I really don't want to do each one manually. Is there any other way you guys have used in the past or anything to try at all now?
