Hi all;

According to the following TechNet article, I can run Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Administration" command to allow access to MMC snap-ins on a system.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574205.aspx

But when I execute the above command, the following error message appears:

Enable-NetFirewallRule : No MSFT_NetFirewallRule objects found with property
'DisplayGroup' equal to 'Remote Administration'.  Verify the value of the
property and retry.

PS C:\Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Administration"

Hi,

I got the same result.

Please try the following 2 commands instead:

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Windows Firewall Remote Management"

Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Service Management"
