From: Uwe Conradi on 19 Apr 2010 07:41 Hello everybody, I made an error configuring firewall exceptions and after that the system cannot run normally. Under rescue with limitated access I cann log in. I thought to disable the firewall with netsh.exe on the command prompt. But the command line does not recognize the command: "netsh is not recognized as internal or external command". I set the path=C:\windows; C:\windows\system32 then it says: "The image file C:\windows\system32\netsh.exe is valid but is for machine type other than the current machine". I have web server 2008 (64 bit). Is there other possibility to disable firewall? Thanks Uwe

The Firewall settings can be accessed through the Server Manager page that pops up. You can also manage the local Windows Firewall through Control Panel. DO you have a backup of the system? If so, you have the option of running a restore. Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

I am in recovery system mode, but I do not see how to restore. Uwe

Have you looked in the registry? This is for XP, but the settings are similar, if not the same.

Where in the registry of server 2008 is firewall configuration? |
