ChevronX Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Anyone know how to shutdown Windows Firewall remotely? I am in a domain and have the Admin passwords, how do I close down Windows XP SP2 Firewall from my computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudobreed Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 From command line: sc.exe <ip|computer name> <start|stop> <service> Example: sc 127.0.0.1 stop sharedaccess This will stop Windows Firewall on your machine. Replace 127.0.0.1 with the remote IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevronX Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks, how do I specifiy how to enter in Admin password and username? It tells me Access is denied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudobreed Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 You have to create a session. The easiest way is to pop open windows explorer, throw the remote IP in the address bar and when the windows logon, logon with the remote admins credentials. The long way is using net session. Im not on a network so I dont remember what it is off hand. Pull up net session /? in console and go from there. Trial and error never hurt anyone.

Yourmysin Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 lol! actually i can think of many people it HAS hurt. But anyways, you have the domain Administrators password and your trying to shutdown windows xp SP2 firewall on the domain?Why cant you logon as the Administrator and then type it...you should not need to validate yourself then. But i may be mistaken. Your best bet is to open up command prompt and type tracert to find the ip addy of the 'server' then use the command pseudo told you.

Loki Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Sometimes trial and error really does hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudobreed Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 In some cases you know the domain admin credentials, however, you do not do everyday activities with this account. It's bad practice, just like in linux you dont run as super user all the time. That is why there is a runas command in windows. Well, trial and error never hurts when you have a good backup system. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourmysin Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 oh yeah! Enter command prompt, type Runas /? for help. Runas will allow you to login to another user, which in this case would be highly usefull. i belive the command runas USERNAME will allow you to type in the password, and you will be all set.
