To do so, please follow the steps outlined in my "Remotely Managing Windows 2008 Server Core Firewall" article. After performing the steps in that article, you will be able to enable or disable any Firewall rule from the remote snap-in. In order to enable ICMP Echo Replies from the Server Core server, allowing the administrators to test for connectivity issues with the server, go to Inbound Rules. In the results pane scroll down till you find File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request – ICMPv4-In), right-click it and choose Enable. - Albert Estillore | |
