Re: Windows Security Alert
looks like i can use the windows firewall API,
got some sample vb script, so i will see if i can convert it to use
vb Code:
Option Explicit
' Set constants
Const NET_FW_PROFILE_DOMAIN = 0
Const NET_FW_PROFILE_STANDARD = 1
' Scope
Const NET_FW_SCOPE_ALL = 0
' IP Version – ANY is the only allowable setting for now
Const NET_FW_IP_VERSION_ANY = 2
' Declare variables
Dim errornum
' Create the firewall manager object.
Dim fwMgr
Set fwMgr = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FwMgr")
' Get the current profile for the local firewall policy.
Dim profile
Set profile = fwMgr.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile
Dim app
Set app = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FwAuthorizedApplication")
app.ProcessImageFileName = "%PROGRAMFILES%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"
app.Name = "Outlook Express"
app.Scope = NET_FW_SCOPE_ALL
' Use either Scope or RemoteAddresses, but not both
'app.RemoteAddresses = "*"
app.IpVersion = NET_FW_IP_VERSION_ANY
app.Enabled = TRUE
' Use this line if you want to add the app, but disabled.
'app.Enabled = FALSE
On Error Resume Next
errornum = 0
profile.AuthorizedApplications.Add app
errornum = Err.Number
if errornum <> 0 then Wscript.Echo("Adding authorized application failed with: " & errornum)
