Script for Disabling Firewall, Updating, Enabling Firewall

Stefan12345

Hello, is there a way to script the following steps (by a batchfile or a VBScript)?

1. Disabling Sophos Firewall

2. Do an Update

3. Enabling Firewall

Thanks, Stefan!

    Hello Stefan12345,

    in what way does SCF interfere with the update - and do you refer to updates in general or a specific product? Note that depending on the application and your settings you'd have anyway to adjust the policy accordingly.

    Because this is another topic i created a new thread describing my problem with the AutoUpdate

    /search?q= 29563

    but as a workaround i would still be interested in a scripting solution with disabling firewall;updating;enabling firewall.

    Hello Stefan12345,

    another topic

    I'll reply on it there

    as a workaround ... a scripting solution with disabling firewall

    in general a workaround should only be tried or applied if either the problem is identified but there isn't yet a solution or identifying the problem presumably will take excessive (in relation to the importance of the affected service as well to the effort needed to implement the workaround) time and it doesn't introduce significant additional risks. 

    This just a general remarks, details and how the above applies on the other thread.

    Thank you for your answer. Regarding the Update-Problem, i have no idea how to fix it, but with this workaround it might work so this was a possibilty for me, and meanwhile i will look for a clean solution.
