I have a script that enables me to check on the event logs of my remote
computers. I have the Windows Firewall enabled but I have the exception to
'allow remote administration' enabled as well. My script runs fine on my
local subnet, but gets blocked on other subnets that I try to connect to that
are controlled by the same group policy. I have enabled Windows firewall
logging and checked the logs on the PC's that are not on local subnets and
they seem to connect thru a random port that is in addition to the epmap
(135) port that wmi scripts run on. The problem is, that when I enable the
random port as an exception, as soon as the remote pc's are rebooted they
choose a different random port. Is there any way to get around this problem,
without disabling the Windows Firewall? If anyone has any thoughts or
suggestions that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
