How To Turn Off the Windows Firewall Using A Command Line Script
In order to get EnterpriseOne to play nicely on Windows Servers and Workstations, we need to disable the Windows Firewall on several ports. I don’t necessarily know what all those ports are and depending on what your organization has determined as their risk tolerance you might not care. So, for those that just want to turn off the Windows Firewall and not mess around with things not working because of a port being blocked (believe me there are plenty of other things that can go wrong without having to worry about a port) here is a simple Windows Command Line script to turn off the Windows Firewall:
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
This saved me a lot of time, while setting up a new installation of Windows Servers and Workstations.
Do you have any quick time saving tips that you would like to share? If so, let me know about them in the comments.
