To begin, open a command prompt as administrator.
To turn off Windows Firewall for Domain Networks type the following command:
netsh advfirewall set domain state off
To turn off Windows Firewall for Private Networks type the following command:
netsh advfirewall set private state off
To turn off Windows Firewall for Public Networks type the following command:
netsh advfirewall set public state off
To turn off Windows Firewall for All Networks (Domain, Private, Public) type the following command:
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
Now, if you needed to turn Windows Firewall back on using this utility you can type the same commands and just change “off” to “on”. For example, if you wanted to turn the Windows Firewall on for all networks you would type the following command:
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on


netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = SUBNET profile = CURRENT
