Wow. &nbsp;I think this is the shortest solution I've ever gotten on EE. &nbsp;Perfect. <br />
<br />
Thanks very much!<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a Windows 2008 R2 server with a custom inbound rule in the firewall. &nbsp;Mainly a long list of nuisance connection IP addresses from outside the US. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm moving the web clients to a 2016 server. &nbsp;I'd like to copy that rule to the new server. &nbsp;I see I can export the list of rules but I don't see a way to import it. &nbsp;<br />

Am I missing something?<br />

Thanks!<br />
