Windows Firewall - RemoteAdminSettings
am 07.12.2007 18:26:00 von RogerHi All,
I am trying to programmatically enable RemoteAdminSettings in WindowsFirewall.
I have checked all the Micosoft documentation and have written VB.net code
to do as suggested.
I cannot enable Remote Administration programmatically.
Following is the code
Dim oFireWall As Object
Dim oPolicy As Object
Dim oApp As Object
oFireWall = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FwMgr")
oPolicy = oFireWall.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile
oApp = oPolicy.RemoteAdminSettings
oApp.Enabled = True
oApp.scope = 0
oApp.RemoteAddresses = "*"
The above code does not generate an ErrorException.
It simply does not have the desired effect.
I also tried gpupdate / wait=0 to force the policy change (no joy there)
I use similar code to successfully add a program to the Exceptions List of
Windows Firewall.
I can/have used gpedit.msc snap-in to manually enable Remote Administration
in WindowsFirewall.
Frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions? Help?
