Adding Altiris AClient as Firewall exception through unattended.txt

Hi All,

I was wondering what the commands and code would be to add an exception to the firewall for the altiris aclient. Currently when it first logs into windows to start installing applications a prompt comes up asking whether or not the altiris client should be blocked or unblocked and I have to unblock it before the scripts will begin to run. Does anybody have the details i'd need for this?

Thanks in advance

Byron

Netsh

You can issue the following command:

netsh firewall set allowedprogram "c:\program files\altiris\aclient.exe" ENABLE

that is one nice thing about windows firewall, can just allow applications so it will know all of the ports and such.

Good call.

aclusr.exe ?

you would also have to set alcientuser.exe if you want to see the logged in user in the console.
