If you ever need to powershell script the allowing of traffic through the builtin windows firewall, its very easy to do.
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName “Enterprise Commander HTTP” -Direction Inbound –Protocol TCP –LocalPort 80 -Action allow
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName “Enterprise Commander SSL” -Direction Inbound –Protocol TCP –LocalPort 443 -Action allow
The above commands poke holes in the firewall for port 80 and 443. You then just need to enable the profile with the following.
Set-NetFirewallProfile -DefaultInboundAction Block -DefaultOutboundAction Allow -NotifyOnListen True -AllowUnicastResponseToMulticast True
Job done.
