1. Disable Windows Server 2022 Firewall from CMD
2 . Disable Windows Server 2022 Firewall from GPO

The Firewall in Windows Server 2022 (and in Windows operating systems), is one of the key security components since it is responsible for managing incoming and outgoing connections on the server and preventing attackers from camouflaging themselves in different types of files to cause damage to the system or to the roles and files hosted there..

 

The Firewall is important to be able to protect our equipment from connections that try to put unwanted content on our equipment by any means. For some support tasks it is possible that we should deactivate the Firewall temporarily and if this is the case TechnoWikis will explain two methods to achieve it, but always remembering the importance of this.

Step 3

Now we are going to validate the Firewall status with the command. We can see that the result of the profiles is "true", that is, the Firewall is active on the server.
 Get-NetFirewallProfile │ select name, enabled

To disable the Firewall we are going to use the following command:

Another method available in Windows Server 2022 to disable the Firewall is through the GPO group policies.

In the Start menu we go to "Windows Administrative Tools" and there we select "Group Policy Management":
