Archived Forums. Windows 7 Networking. Sign in to vote. We downloaded Windows 7 from Technet and installed it on one of the machines in our office. It is on a Windows Server domain. Everything works fine except for one thing - we can't turn off the Windows Firewall. Just the one for domain, the home and private you can turn off but not the one for domain.
I've tried configuring it in Group policy and also deleted the registry key to no avail. There is no policy set on the Domain level that affects the firewall. I did try disabling firewall in the default domain policy, and that worked on the XP machines but of course the Win 7 machine was untouched.
I have also made sure the logged in user is both domain and local administrator. I need to turn the firewall off in order to get some other software to work. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here? Thursday, September 10, PM. This works. Funny how MS makes it so complicated and ehow made it so easy.
Thursday, December 8, PM. You must unjoin the client from the domain and then join it to the domain again. Hi, Could you please verify it? Friday, September 11, AM. Hello, thanks for the replies.
I did disable that group policy setting but it didn't work. Friday, September 11, PM. Hi, Try entering gpedit.

As you may already know, most, if not all, of the GUI operations in Windows, have a command-line counterpart. Using the command-line is at times quicker, as opposed to going to different windows location when using the GUI options. An old but useful handy utility called netsh s ready for use to manage network configurations on a computer, or in this case, to disable the Windows Firewall.
Using netsh advfirewall set c you can disable the Windows Firewall individually on each location or all network profiles.
This NetSecurity PowerShell module contains cmdlets related to network and network security configuration. The command below will turn off the firewall on the Public , Private , and Domain network profiles. The demonstration below shows how the Set-NetFirewallProfile works to disable Windows Firewall using the command above. Without specifying any profile names, the example below shows how to disable Windows Firewall on all network profiles by using the -All parameter switch.
When you need to disable the firewall on many computers, it would be inefficient to manually login to each computer and run the commands. Especially in a network environment, you could disable remotely using PowerShell. Note: This procedure requires that WinRM is already enabled on the target computer.
In most cases, WinRM is already set up for domain-joined computers for remote management purposes. Learn more: How to enable Windows Remote Shell. If you plan to disable Windows Firewall on one remote computer at a time, you can use the Enter-PsSession cmdlet to issue the commands to the remote computer.
In the example below, the command will be issued from the server named dc , and the remote computer name is desktop1. The command that will be used is shown below. The above process is good only if you are working on a few remote computers. But, if you have a bulk of computers where you need to disable it, you will need an approach that is more adapted to scripting. For that, you can use the Invoke-Command cmdlet. Refer to the demo below for the expected result.
By deploying a GPO, systems admins can turn off the Windows Firewall for selected or all computers in the domain.
Once deployed, disabling Windows Firewall will be automated as the configuration enforces it via policy on all computers that are in scope. To do so, run gpmc. In the image below, the GPO is created in the xyz. The New GPO dialog box will pop up. Before we start, you should know that Windows 10 does not have the Group Policy Management Console enabled by default. The console is only available by default on server editions of Microsoft Windows.
Enabling the Group Policy Management tools in general is always a good idea, since you may need them for other configurations, like disabling the annoying Windows Automatic Update attempts.
You just need to use the Settings. Use the Start Menu to find and click on the Settings icon. You will be greeted with the Settings screen which is different from the Control Panel.
Remember, you will need physical or remote access to the Windows server in question and administrator permission to go through with this task. To start, we need to launch the Group Policy Management Console.
