I applied a Windows firewall rule that blocks all tcp connection and thus kicked myself out of remote desktop on a dedicated server. I managed to get into recovery via VNC, which is basically a windows xp recovery system.
I have access to the physical files of the Windows Server 2008 R2 installation, but I don't know how to disable the firewall so I can reboot from recovery and connect to the W2K8 via remote desktop.
How can I edit the firewall properties of Windows Server 2008 while the OS is essentially powered off and I have filesystem access to the system files?
