Im trying to run a simple command from a DOS prompt. The command is following:

netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=5900 name="VNCEnterprise2" mode=enable scope=subnet

So would my scirpt look like this

? "Configuring the Windows Firewall"
Shell '%COMSPEC% /C "netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=5900 name="VNCEnterprise2" mode=enable scope=subnet"

Are you 100% certain that the command as you show does work at a C:\ prompt?

If so, then no your syntax being shelled will probably not work.

I have to run for a few but will post when I get back with a syntax that will hopefully work if no one else posts in the mean time.

You have mismatched quotes.

pimpjuice,

google on context...it's a scripting editor that replaces notepad (if you opt too). very handy for catching coding or syntax errors.

...about the commands, can't tell what brand of FW you have.

The best approach (imho) would be to use a GPO to set this.

Doing it remotely may or may not work with NETSH depending on how the system is currently configured.

Here is an article that discusses the many ways to change it.

As for the shelling out it should look more like this.

NOT TESTED

 
Shell '%COMSPEC% /C ' + 'netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=5900 name='+'"'+'VNCEnterprise2'+'"'+' mode='+'"'+'enable'"'+' scope='+'"'+'subnet'+'"'

Cause I love it.


Okay, here does this float your boat better?

SHELL '%COMSPEC% /C netsh firewall add portopening protocol=TCP port=5900 name="VNCEnterprise2" mode="enable" scope="subnet"'
