Windows 7 Creating a custom MMC Console

Using Command Prompt:​

1. Remote Computer Access: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the remote computer.
2. Run Command Prompt: Open Command Prompt on your local computer.
3. Use Netsh Command: Use the netsh command to view the Windows Firewall configuration on the remote computer. Here's the command you can use:
   Bash:

   netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all

4. Locate the Open Ports: Look for the entries in the output that mention the ports that are allowed through the Windows Firewall.

   Using PowerShell:​

5. Remote Computer Access: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the remote computer.
6. Open PowerShell: Open PowerShell on your local computer.
7. Run PowerShell Command: Use a remote PowerShell session to query the Windows Firewall configuration on the remote computer. Here's an example of how you can do this:
   Bash:

   Invoke-Command -ComputerName REMOTE_COMPUTER_NAME { Get-NetFirewallPortFilter | Where-Object {$_.Enabled -eq "True"} }

8. Check Enabled Ports: Look for the ports that are enabled, as they indicate the open ports in Windows Firewall.

   Using Third-Party Tools:​

   Alternatively, you can also use third-party tools like Nmap to scan the ports on the remote computer. Nmap provides detailed information about open ports on a remote system. Remember to replace REMOTE_COMPUTER_NAME with the actual name or IP address of the remote computer when running these commands. By following these steps, you should be able to identify which ports Windows Firewall has opened on another computer.
