ManageEngine

Hello, first of all: I come from Germany, so my pronunciation is not the best :-).

Second: I've installed "Free Windows Admin Tool" (which is great by the way!). But I got just one problem... I've opend port 135, 445, 5000, 5001 and 5002 as told in the FAQ. But now, after I've added the client to my list, this is showing: The RPC-Server is unavailable. When I turn off the Windows Firewall it works perfectly. At work, I can't just turn off the Firewall... Is there any other solution, like I can let the Firewall on but still use the tool?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jordy,

Thanks for using Desktop Central Free Windows tools.

Glad to know your response.

Please check with the WMI settings. You might have blocked the WMI inbound connection. Follow the below steps to unblock WMI settings,

Go to Control Panel
Select Administrative tools
Select Windows firewall with Advanced security
Select Inbound rules
Select Windows management instrumentation (WMI) rules
A pop-up will open, in that go to General tab
Under Actions, enable Allow the connection option
Click Apply

Using the above steps, unblock all WMI rules.

Follow the below steps to allow remote access in firewall

Open command prompt with administrative privileges
Execute this command - 'netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="windows management instrumentation (wmi)" new enable=yes'

You can now access firewall remotely.
