Vista Firewall Permissions

With the new proliferation of Vista on desktops in the marketplace, some traditional practices like fixing firewall permissions can get hung up. The easiest way to ensure that firewall permissions are correct is the AvayaFW.bat script. The script checks the registry to see what programs are installed then writes the ports associated into the exceptions in the firewall. On Windows XP, this batch file runs with a double click. On Vista and Server 2008 the batch file requires elevation to run properly. Right click on the AvayaFW.bat icon and choose ‘Run as Administrator…’. This action will require administrator level access or password.
