I’m finally setting up spiceworks and did the network scan late last night. Now I have some Scan errors saying “No open ports for this device were found to be responding”… I have followed the troubleshooting steps on this site, and opening the firewall did the trick on a few machines I tested.

Question - Is there a simple way of deploying these commands to all machines, without going to each machine?

So no one has to search for those commands here they are:

XP - c:> netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable subnet

Win7 - c:> netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“windows management instrumentation (wmi)” new enable=yes

Win7 - c:> netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“remote administration” new enable=yes

Create a logon script

I used there

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“remote administration” new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“windows management instrumentation (wmi)” new enable=yes
netsh firewall set service REMOTEADMIN enable

if this is in a AD environment add the logon script to each user.
