Windows 2008 Firewall

Hi

In our environment we have enabled the windows firewall in windows 2008 servers. After that we are not able run any VB script against those servers. What are port required for VB script using WMI and which port psexec use?

davorin

For psexec you need ports 135 and 445.
For WMI please look here:

Hi davorin,

Even I included the WMI in the exception list, I am not able to connect the server remotely.

Have you added RPC port?

Hi rishabv1,

I added RPC port too

Sorry for long delay.

Example of command user to show all rules (ports) open in inbound direction:
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all dir=in

At the end you can add profile=domain to list only open ports at domain firewall profile. Other options are public and private.

For checking FW state for WMI should work:
netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name="WMI"

Are you opening this ports in network profile the server is using?
