1. To see if the firewall is enabled, use the following command.
netsh firewall show state
Example
C:\>netsh firewall show state
Firewall status:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Profile = Domain
Operational mode = Enable
Exception mode = Enable
Multicast/broadcast response mode = Enable
Notification mode = Enable
Group policy version = Windows Firewall
Remote admin mode = Disable
If Operational mode = Enable, then Windows firewall is on
If Operational mode = Disable, then Windows firewall is off
If Exception mode = Enable, then Windows firewall will allow exceptions.
If Exception mode = Disable, then Windows firewall will not allow exceptions. In this mode you will be able to add the exceptions Netvault needs to run.
To set the exceptions in the Windows firewall you will need to run the scripts attached to this solution on the Netvault server and clients that you need.
Note: These scripts are written for default install path:
C:\Program Files\Quest\NetVault Backup\bin\ for 32bit system
C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest\NetVault Backup\bin for 64 bit system
If you have another one please modify the path using notepad or wordpad.
