How to copy all firewall rules and apply them on a new server?












1















I often install new SQL Server Servers. Be them production, test or development.



There is one thing I still have not automated and it is time consuming: the firewall settings.



I know how to Configure Windows Firewall to Work with SQL Server but I want to automate it.



I want to be able to copy all settings from a firewall in an already existing server my_good_server_already_running and apply all those settings to my_new_server.



How can I get this done?



well, how to Enable these Windows Firewall rules using powershell? gives me an idea.



From Use PowerShell to List Firewall Rules I got the following script that allows me to list all the firewall rules that I am interested in:



Get-NetFirewallRule | Where { $_.Enabled –eq ‘True’ –and $_.Direction –eq ‘Inbound’ }

Get-NetFirewallRule | Where { $_.Enabled –eq ‘True’ –and $_.Direction –eq ‘Outbound’ }


How do I get these rules and make them a script to apply on my_new_server?



I tried Managing the Windows Firewall with PowerShell but it doesn't say how to make the applying script out of the list either.
