Is it easy or even possible yet to manage windows firewall with powershell?

  • 772

I'm doing some POC testing on a server 2012 environment, and during initial firewall configuration I find myself going to the GUI repeatedly when I'd really much rather be able to write a script. I've searched around but I can't find anything about new powershell commands in 3.0 nor anything via WMI.

Is there anything I'm missing or is this still largely a GUI-oriented task?

    Do a:

    Get-Command *-*firewall*

    to see various commands available as well.
