Changing Settings in the Non-current Profile
The following example demonstrates changing settings in the non-current profile.
Option Explicit
'Set Constants
Const NET_FW_PROFILE_DOMAIN = 0
Const NET_FW_PROFILE_STANDARD = 1
'Declare variables
Dim profiletype
' Create the firewall manager object.
Dim fwMgr
Set fwMgr = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FwMgr")
' Get the current profile for the local firewall policy.
Dim profile
Set profile = fwMgr.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile
profiletype = profile.Type
' Now get the profile that isn't current.
If profiletype = NET_FW_PROFILE_DOMAIN Then
set profile = fwMgr.LocalPolicy.GetProfileByType(NET_FW_PROFILE_STANDARD)
Else
set profile = fwMgr.LocalPolicy.GetProfileByType(NET_FW_PROFILE_DOMAIN)
End If
profile.IcmpSettings.AllowInboundEchoRequest = TRUE
