Configure Firewall for NMM after silent installation
Hi,
I am trying to install the Networker Microsoft Module 8.2.2 in unattended (silent) operation.
After the installation I need to configure the firewall rules for the NMM.
In Networker NMM Guide (http://www.emc.com/collateral/TechnicalDocument/docu57653.pdf) I see that after the installation I need to run the vbs script NMMConfigFW.vbs, but it failed.
The log file contains the following content:
3/28/2016 6:04:45 PM : NMMConfigFW.vbs: Starting...
FirewallOK: entry
FirewallOK: Windows Firewall is up and running
FWstatus: 0
FW_GetInstalldir: entry
productname: networker module for microsoft applications
Product is not registered: networker module for microsoft applications
Unable to configure Windows Firewall, status=3
So I started to debug the script.
If failed when trying to understand if the NMM is really installed on the machine (aka - Product is not registered) by comparing the productName from the installed products on the machine and a const string from the script itself:
The extracted productName is: networker module for microsoft
The const productName is: networker module for microsoft applications
You can see that the strings above are different so the operation failed.
I can edit the const string and change it to "networker module for microsoft" but this different from the Networker NMM Guide...
please help,
thanks

Try it and see what happens. Or run installer in debug and see what exactly is executed otherwise. Normally not registered can also be seen if services are not started yet and process relies on some action for which service is required to be online (started).

I changed the const string to the real expected one and it worked fine.
When compering the logs of the installations between regular NMM installation and silent NMM installation it seems like the silent NMM installation does not trying to make any firewall operations.
So I looked on the MSI flow and it's really seems that only regular installation is making the firewall operations, and the silent installation does not have any operation on this issue.
Also I noticed that the firewall rules are different between the firewall rules in the VBS to the firewall rules that added after regular NMM installation.
It's look like this script is not update to the NMM version
