Add a Windows firewall exception for remote WMI connections in SAM

WMI uses TCP Port 135 to initiate communication with the remotely managed host, and then switches to any random high port anywhere between TCP port 1024-65535. If a target computer has a Windows firewall enabled, add a Remote WMI exception to allow remote WMI traffic through.

  2. At the command prompt, type netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Remote Management" new enable=yes, and then press Enter.
