How to migrate Windows Server 2008 (and Windows 7) firewall exceptions to a new environment?

Specifically:

  • SQL Server
  • Subversion
  • remote access?

Is if possible to use scripts like powershell?

Thanks!

wf.msc allows remote management of Windows Firewall running on other computers. You could connect and then use copy/paste to paste rules to the remote machine.

The easier alternative though is to use Windows Firewall's import/export feature (either via wf.msc or through netsh: "netsh advfirewall export c:\somedir\rules.wfw").

Which of the alternatives did the trick? Didn't understand how to connect remotely using wf.msc...? – tobefound Apr 1 '11 at 8:03
