Disable Windows firewall from command line
When you are working on Windows 2008 core, you get requirement to disable firewall functionality to allow all programs communication. The default firewall settings blocks most of the ports(including remote management) and administrator has to explicitly open them on need basis. The default Core console allows you to perform only few network operations like listing and assigning IP address, but if you want to perform advanced operations like disabling firewall functionality in all profiles(see my post https://techibee.com/windows-2008/what-is-domain-public-and-private-profiles-in-windows-2008-firewall/478 for different profiles in 2008 firewall), you need to rely on some command line options.
Netsh is one of the very useful command line utilities in windows environment. Now in this post, I will show you how to disable firewall profiles(Private, public, domain) on a windows 2008 Core. You need this command in Server Core environment because, you cannot manage firewall remotely as there is a provision and you can not manage it from local host as core supports no GUI. Only option is command line utility.
Now, let us see how we can disable firewall functionality from all profiles
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
If you want to turn off the firewall for individual profiles use the below commands
netsh advfirewall set domainprofile state off
netsh advfirewall set privateprofile state off
netsh advfirewall set publicprofile state off
You can turn on firewall back by simply replacing “off” with “on” in above commands.
Netsh utility allows us to perform more set of operations on different components of operating system. You can explore the help(netsh /?) to lean about it further.
You can also download a NetSH Technical reference guide from MS website. Refer to https://techibee.com/general/download-netsh-technical-reference-for-windows-2008windows-7/494 for more details.
Hope this helps.
Windows firewall can be enabled/disabled from command line using netsh
command.
Windows 10 / Windows 8/ Windows 7 / Server 2008 /Vista:
Let’s see the syntax of netsh advfirewall
to configure firewall on these Windows versions. Firewall settings are different for each of the 3 networks(Domain, private, public). So based on which network firewall you want to enable/disable, the command would vary.
You can turn on firewall for the current network profile(does not matter if it’s domain/private/public network) using the below command.
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state on
Turn off firewall for the current profile:
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state off
These commands should be run from an elevated administrator command prompt. Otherwise you would get the below error.
C:\>netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state on The requested operation requires elevation (Run as administrator).
To enable/disable firewall for a specific network profile, you can use the below commands.
Domain network
Turn on Domain network firewall:
netsh advfirewall set domainprofile state on
Turn off domain network firewall:
netsh advfirewall set domainprofile state off
Private network
Turn on private network firewall:
netsh advfirewall set privateprofile state on
Turn off private network firewall:
netsh advfirewall set privateprofile state off
Public network
Turn on public network firewall:
netsh advfirewall set publicprofile state on
Turn off public network firewall:
netsh advfirewall set publicprofile state off
Configure for all networks
Turn on firewall for all networks
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on
Turn off firewall for all networks
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off
Older Windows versions – XP / Server 2003:
Below is the command to turn on firewall.
netsh firewall set opmode mode=ENABLE
The command to turn off firewall is:
netsh firewall set opmode mode=DISABLE
Administrator privileges are required to configure firewall so above command can be run only from admin accounts.
netsh firewall
is deprecated in new versions.
In Windows 10/ 8 / 7 / Vista/ Server 2008, ‘netsh firewall‘ command prints message like below.
c:\>netsh firewall set opmode mode=ENABLE IMPORTANT: "netsh firewall" is deprecated; use "netsh advfirewall firewall" instead. Though the command still works, it's preferable to use the new set of commands provided with netsh command.

There are still situations in which it is necessary to turn off the firewall, and there are supported methods for doing so that don’t involve stopping or disabling the service. In Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, the firewall can be turned off using the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security console and netsh commands. Windows Server 2012 or above allows both of those methods and also offers the Set-NetFirewallProfile Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
1. To turn off the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security console
- Open the Server Manager console.
- In Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2, in the left pane, expand Configuration and click Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
In Windows Server 2012 or above, select Windows Firewall with Advanced Security from the Tools menu. - In the center pane, click Windows Firewall Properties.
- There are three profile tabs in the properties window, corresponding to the three Windows Firewall profiles (domain, private, and public). In each profile tab, select Off from the Firewall state dropdown list.
- Click OK to close the firewall properties window.
2. To turn off the firewall using netsh commands:
- Open an administrative command prompt.
- Type netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off.
3. To turn off the firewall using Windows PowerShell in Windows Server 2012 or above, including Windows Server Core:
