Windows Server 2008 R2 Core - Poking at the Firewall: Part 2

Despite my efforts, I have not yet found a way to use the "Server Manager" MMC snap-in to connect to a Server Core server (maybe it is too complex) ... but RDP, and other MMC snap-ins like Firewall management, DHCP, DNS, etc ... they are all available.

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee441255(WS.10).aspx

"1.On the server running a Server Core installation, type the following command at a command prompt:

cscript C:\Windows\System32\Scregedit.wsf /ar 0

This enables the Remote Desktop for Administration mode to accept connections.
"


and

"To allow all MMC snap-ins to connect, at a command prompt, type:

Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=“remote administration” new enable=yes
"
