In the help index, enter "Windows Firewall". The first topic found seems to
be what you are looking for.

VBScript example:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ics/ics/wf_verifying_wf_enabled.asp


I don't know why this is a sub topic of ICS, but I didn't find another one.

It seems you can also set a reference to "NetFwTypelib" on the COM folder of
the "add reference" dialog.

Yes, thank you! vbscript though... but it worked nice with that reference
too
