XML Example

The following XML output shows how to set Windows Firewall groups.

<FirewallGroups>
      <FirewallGroup wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="RemoteDesktop">
      <Active>true</Active>
      <Group>@FirewallAPI.dll,-28752</Group>
      <Profile>all</Profile>
   </FirewallGroup>
</FirewallGroups>

Note

The Group value must be the Group ID associated with the firewall group you want to reference (for example, the Remote Desktop group corresponds to the ID @FirewallAPI.dll,-28752). Group IDs can be obtained using Network Security commands in PowerShell. See the child topic on the Group parameter for more detailed instructions.
