Turn off windows firewall by script
I need to turn off windows firewall on some remote machines
More specifically, i need to enable ftp (open port 21 and port 20) for future, so that i can run a specific type of update.
(these machines run a specific job and we had a few go out, without windows firewall turned off, oops! So I'm trying to do it remotely)
These machines i have limited access to, I have a network management tool where i can send files, can execute a script. I do not have RDP (wish I did, then it would be simple).
A scripting approach is what i need. Any ideas?

Hi Geyybecca:
no, it is not on a domain. Each unit is set as a workgroup, stand alone at a remote location.

you can open the gpedit.msc console from your machine and edit the configuration to your dsires and after that export the policy and use the file exported to distribute it by your network managment tool
