configurating windows 10 network share through .bat file

I was right.
Your commands are failing because your Windows firewall has DisplayGroup names in Portuguese so it does not have DisplayGroups called Network discovery or File and printer sharing.
Many of your DisplayGroup names contain characters that do not render correctly in that text file. Perhaps that also affects using commands in Command prompt & PowerShell generally???

[Hannes will be able to do better when he joins in]
Run this command in an Admin Command prompt window to get a list of your firewall display groups

Code:

powershell "Get-NetFirewallRule | Select-Object DisplayGroup"

It's a very long list because I do not know an easy way of removing duplicates. [My results list has 440 lines.]
I suggest you scroll up & down in the Cmd window looking for the Portuguese for Network discovery & File and printer sharing
You could save the list to a file as before

Code:

powershell "Get-NetFirewallRule | Select-Object DisplayGroup" >D:\Desktop\DisplayGroupsList.txt

I've seen people refer to country codes when talking about using commands in foreign languages but it is not a subject I know anything about.
If you can spot the Portuguese for Network discovery & File and printer sharing then I suggest you substitute them in the commands Hannes gave you.


Best of luck,

I think you need
Descoberta de Rede [instead of Network discovery]
Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora [File and Printer Sharing]
I found them by searching for the relevant Group entry which is common to both our AllRulesForReview lists. Then I double-checked them with Google translate.
[I also checked in your results that True/False & Private were always in English.]


So that's, in an Admin Cmd window, for both lines that went wrong,

Code:

PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Descoberta de Rede' -Enabled True -Profile Private"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Private"

BUT
Do make a new system image first because if I'm wrong I might mess up your computer.


Best of luck,
Denis

the commands worked using the words in Portuguese

@echo off
PowerShell "Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name (Get-NetConnectionProfile | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) -NetworkCategory Private"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Descoberta de Rede' -Enabled True -Profile Private"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Private"
pause

I confirmed here and the changes worked

however, these commands only change the private option... I did other commands here and managed to change the public, however, when the public is activated the private is deactivated.

My question is the following.... using the mouse I can keep both the private and the public active, would it be possible to activate both using the commands below?

@echo off
PowerShell "Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name (Get-NetConnectionProfile | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) -NetworkCategory Private"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Descoberta de Rede' -Enabled True -Profile Private"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Private"
pause

PowerShell "Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name (Get-NetConnectionProfile | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name) -NetworkCategory Public"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Descoberta de Rede' -Enabled True -Profile Public"
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Public"
pause

I would like to remind you that we still have "all networks", but let's do one thing at a time so that I can follow the classes! :)



thank very much

By the way, when you are testing things you might usefully omit that
@echo off
because you want to see how the system responds to commands [even successful commands] until you are happy with the script.
Personally, I never use it at all because I run all my scripts minimised to the Taskbar [so I don't care what gets shown] yet, if there is a problem, I can immediately open up the window and see everything with the hope of understanding & fixing the problem.

"using the mouse I can keep both the private and the public active, would it be possible to activate both using the commands below"

The answer is in
Set-NetFirewallRule - MSLearn

If I understand it correctly, you can use

Code:

PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Any"

or

Code:

PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Private,Public"

You'll have to wait for H to come back to the forum.
In the meantime, I suggest you find them in your own Firewall so you'll know which words to use in place of H's suggestions about the syntax to use.

For all I know, they will use exactly the same syntax as
PowerShell "Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Compartilhamento de Arquivo e Impressora' -Enabled True -Profile Any"
just with different parameter names [I don't even know what they are in English].

Denis

Not

Code:

-Profile Private, Public"

but

Code:

-Profile Private,Public"
