[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Add-SqlFirewallRule cmdlet adds a Windows Firewall rule to allow connections for the specified instance of SQL Server. The SQL Server Cloud Adapter must be running and accessible on the computer that hosts the instance of SQL Server.
This cmdlet supports the following modes of operation:
- Specify the instance Windows PowerShell path.
- Specify the server object.
- Specify the server instance of the target instance of SQL Server.
Note: This cmdlet ceased to work a long time ago. It's been removed in version 22 of the module.
Examples
Example 1: Add a Windows Firewall rule on the local computer
PS C:\> CD SQLSERVER:\SQL\Computer\Instance
PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\Computer\Instance> Add-SqlFirewallRule -Credential $Credential -AcceptSelfSignedCertificateThe first command changes directory to the SQL Server computer instance.
Example 2: Add a Windows Firewall rule on the local computer through a pipe
PS C:\> Get-SqlInstance -Credential $Credential -MachineName "Computer001" | Add-SqlFirewallRule -Credential $Credential -AcceptSelfSignedCertificateThis command gets the SQL Server instance based on the credentials stored in the variable named $Credentials. The command then pipes the SQL Server instances of SQL Server on the computer named 'Computer001'. The command then adds Windows Firewall rules to allow connections for each one of the instances. The self-signed certificate of the target machine is automatically accepted without prompting the user.
