Due to an unidentified problem, Windows can not display windows firewall settings.
I don't know why, Microsoft has some weird policy's, but that's true...you can't get rid of that. Today, I encountered with a very weird problem for changing[disable] Firewall settings in Windows Server 2008.
I tried my hands on firewall settings by FirewallSettings.exe [C:\Windows\System32] [Run as Administrator] but it was giving an error message as 'Due to an unidentified problem, Windows can not display windows firewall settings.'
To resolve this issue:
1. Run command prompt as Administrator
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32
3. execute command >> Netsh.exe firewall set opmode DISABLE
3.1 Netsh.exe firewall set opmode /?
And you are done!!!
It's weird because, if you don't have permission to change some settings than how come a console let you allow to do that?? but not allowed in case of UI interface.
Its a big question whether it was because of some ACL's or bug.
