IMPORTANT NOTE: Running this cmdlet without parameters enables all Windows Firewall rules on the target computer. Always run this cmdlet with the -WhatIf parameter if
you are not targeting a specific Windows Firewall rule or group of rules.
The Enable-NetFirewallRule cmdlet enables a previously disabled firewall rule to be active within the computer or a group policy organizational unit.
This cmdlet gets one or more firewall rules to be enabled with the Name parameter (default), the DisplayName parameter, rule properties, or by associated filters or o
bjects. The Enabled parameter for the resulting queried rules is set to True.
