Windows Firewall tip
When using the command line to configure application exception rules it is best for ease of administration to make sure that you name the exception, for example.
netsh firewall set allowedprogram program=c:\windows\notepad.exe
This command will work fine and the syntax is more than acceptable and the rule would be added but, the application will only show up as Unspecified in the Windows Firewall application fine for one instance but for many applications admin nightmare!
To simple fix this issue
netsh firewall set allowedprogram program=c:\windows\notepad.exe name=Notepad
Makes things much neater.
