Disable Windows 2008 R2 Firewall from Command Line:

Domain Profile:

Worked great! I had problems disabling Windows 2k8 firewalls via scripting and this works. Thanks for article.

Unfortunaly, it doesn't work. netsh returns OK! but in Server Manager, the fw marked as Public (that's not actually public) shows as on. Microsoft: nobody in their right mind will ever, ever, ever, ever use your firewall, so please make it an optional component.
