Using the Windows firewall inspectors

(imported topic written by dmoore21)

So, I’m attempting to work with the Windows firewall inspectors, but I seem to be running in to issues (i.e. my own ignorance). First, I’ll list out my desired outcome: I would like to have a list of enabled inbound rules with no defined scope for the domain profile.

I’ve managed to get the following bits of relevance working:

number of rules of firewall

names of rules of firewall

Is there any way for me to get the result I want?

I think i’ve got a workable solution

unique values of (names of rules whose ((remote addresses string of it = “*” AND currently active of it = true)) of firewall)

If anyone could give it a try and report results, it would be very much appreciated.

Does anyone know if the firewall inspectors work on Server 2003? In the fixlet debugger, I’ve tried the most basic query I can:

names of rules of firewall

But I don’t get any results…
