The Disable-NetFirewallRule cmdlet disables a previously enabled firewall rule to be inactive within the computer or a group policy
organizational unit. A Disabled rule will not actively modify system behavior, but the rule still exists on the computer or in a Group Policy
Object (GPO) so it can be re-enabled. This is different from the Remove-NetFirewallRule cmdlet, which permanently removes the rule.
This cmdlet gets one or more firewall rules to be disabled with the Name parameter (default), the DisplayName parameter, rule properties, or
by the associated filters or objects. The Enabled parameter value for the resulting queried rules is set to False.
Disabling IPsec and firewall rules can be useful for debugging firewall policy mismatch issues, but is easier when the rules are in the local,
or persistent, store. Disabling rules in a GPO container will not take effect until the next time the client applies the GPO. To troubleshoot
GPO-based firewall policy, consider copying all the rules and authorization and cryptographic sets from the GPO to a computer that does not
have the GPO policy applied using the Copy-NetFirewallRule cmdlet. This is way to locally modify the policy, in order to troubleshoot any
IPsec problems.

EXAMPLE 1
PS C:\> Disable-NetFirewallRule –DisplayName "Network Discovery"
This example disables a firewall rule given the localized name.
EXAMPLE 2
PS C:\> Disable-NetFirewallRule –Group "@FirewallAPI.dll,-28502"
This example disables all of the File and Printer Sharing rules on the local computer. Use the universal and world-ready indirect string
@FirewallAPI to specify the group.
EXAMPLE 3
PS C:\> Disable-NetFirewallRule –Direction Outbound -PolicyStore contoso.com\gpo_name
This example disables all of the previously enabled outbound firewall rules in a specified GPO.
EXAMPLE 4
PS C:\> $nfwRule = Get-NetFirewallRule -PolicyStore ActiveStore -PolicyStoreSourceType Dynamic
PS C:\> Disable-NetFirewallRule –InputObject $nfwRule
This is an alternate way to perform the same using only the pipeline.
PS C:\> Get-NetFirewallRule -PolicyStore ActiveStore -PolicyStoreSourceType Dynamic | Disable-NetFirewallRule
This example disables the dynamic firewall rules on the computer.
