Adding exception to firewall in Windows Server 2003/2008 using C#

Question

I want to add exceptions to windows firewall in Windows Server 2003/2008.

I have written the code which works fine for Windows 7, but it doesn't work on Win server 2003/2008.

The problem is with the NetFwTypeLib (FirewallAPI.dll)

Can someone guide on the same.

If you're using VS2010 and .Net Framework < 4.0 this could be a known issue. Have a look here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4296240/deploying-netfwtypelib-to-manage-the-windows-firewall — Adrian Fâciu, Jan 18 '11 at 06:10
