NETSH ADVFIREWALL and Group Policy
I have a connection security rule in a domain Group Policy that cannot be edited in the Group Policy GUI console (it specifies a TCP port).In the past I've edited this rule using NETSH (using the "protocol=", "port1=" and "port2=" options). I targeted NETSH at the appropriate Group Policy rather than the local policyand made the change.I just cannot remember how I did this!!!Help!

In netsh, use the "set store" command to point your later commands in the session to the GPO that you want to modify.Run "netsh advfirewall set store" from a command prompt to see the Help for this command, including examples on how to set it to a GPO.Dave Bishop Senior Technical Writer Windows Server Networking User Assistance

That's the one! Followed by "gpo=<domain>\<gpo name>".I promise not to forget again. Thanks Dave.
