Windows firewall

inroute

Hi,

i need a little help its about windows firewall rules and batch file script on windows server 2008

i have created a rule in windows firewall inbound connections to block unwanted ip addresses.

the normal way to block unwanted ip's i open the rule and go to the scope tab and add the ip I want to block.

Is there a way that I can update the rule I created using a batch file and text note? What I mean is updating the scope with new ip’s that will be in the note.

So are you just looking for a way to use PowerShell to update the block list?

a bat file will be better

@inroute said in Windows firewall:

a bat file will be better

Ewww. But okay, so I had that right idea.

Servers don't have PS on them?

@scottalanmiller umm... well i think i have to do it manual
