I notice you have it saved as '.wsf' - Can you try saving as .vbs and running via cscript? So: cscript firewallSatus.vbs Thanks Dave Hi Peter,

What have you but in the following line:

arrComputers = Split(“boh-core-dc01,boh-inf-app02″, “,”)

It should be a list of hostnames, seperated by a comma.

I notice you have it saved as ‘.wsf’ – Can you try saving as .vbs and running via cscript?

So:

cscript firewallSatus.vbs

Thanks

Dave
