GPO - Enable the WMI entry in the firewall configuration using GPO



1. Edit the group policy object you wish to put these settings into. 
2. Expand the Computer Config > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Windows Firewall with Advanced Security > Windows Firewall with Advanced Security > Inbound Rules node. 
3. Right-click in the working area and choose New Rule..
4. Choose the Predefined option, and select Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) from the drop-down list, Next. 
5. There are a number of options here, but I tend to just select one: the (WMI-In) option with the Domain profile value. If you aren't sure what you need, then just remember you can come back and add the others later. Next button. 
6. Allow the connection > Finish


#netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="windows management instrumentation (WMI)" new enable=Yes

This works too. It enabled the entire group.
