As such Windows Firewall is a secondary function of a larger package which the initial intention was for sharing resources and not security. So while Windows Firewall offers security, it should be remembered that this is not its initial function and so the security of this function should only be considered moderate.
It should be noted that the Windows Firewall is only the front line defense within the Windows Package but it is not the only defense. It also has some capability of locking down specific services, but should be used in moderation as it can slow down the network traffic if overused. From a programming perspective, Windows Server Firewall is a much cleaner language to work with and very intuitive. However it is also very limited and has security concerns where it needs to be setup in tandem with IPSec.
Windows Server Firewall is far more robust in programming options and the security concerns have been patched. However the programming language is very obscure and can be difficult to work with.
Some of the language actually seems to be missing, so they have half patched some of the commands back to the same language as Windows Serer firewall. Most other variants of Microsoft operating systems operate on one of these two types of firewalls. The GUI Graphical User Interface is rather confusing and has many limitations, where as the command line tools gives full access to programming the firewall.
This is more true for Windows Server Firewall as the GUI is broken into sections, where as the actual programming is central. However looking at Windows Server Firewall, this made sense but they just had not fully implemented the sections in the version. Using the programming language we can create scripts rather than to have to go through everything manually. So for example we want to roll out 10 identical servers, rather than having to manually configure each firewall by hand, we can run a script.
The file will not grow beyond this size; when the limit is reached, old log entries are deleted to make room for the newly created ones.
To create a log entry when Windows Firewall drops an incoming network packet, change Log dropped packets to Yes. To create a log entry when Windows Firewall allows an inbound connection, change Log successful connections to Yes.

If at all any firewall policies configured on the server, resetting firewall would wipe those settings and you will have a default firewall policy. Installed software's won't be affected or removed however, if an application installed on that particular server depends on Windows Firewall, they might get impacted.
I do not represent the organisation I work for, all the opinions expressed here are my own. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights. You can run the following command to query the Firewall services. Run cmd with administrator privilege. Can you suggest what I am doing wrong? Please see the screenshot below. Unfortunately I tried exactly what you suggested resulting in the "Name Not Found" dialog box being displayed as follows In the above screenshot, I see only Built-in security principals is selected in Object Types!
Searching the web for problems with setting the permissions on MpsSvc seems to be associated with people having trouble starting the Firewall; I came across one where you had contributed to trying to solve the problem:. I'm having trouble finding anyone who has found a clear solution.
Can you suggest another forum where I may find someone who has a solution? Sorry, my search didn't give me any positive results in this regard. By the way, in my perception Technet forum is the best place ;-. Few things came in my mind, lets try them and see if they help.
