Hi,

I have a problem which i dont know if i can program me out of, i made a program for my company, it collect installed programs and computer info, then store it in a DB. Problem is that we use F-Secure antivirus, and so i need to create a Firewall rule to let the port be open, but as i can tell the RPC use a Dynamic port, and therefor i cant keep one specific port open..

Is there a way to always make it choose same port or someone perhaps have an idea of what could be done to let me access WMI thru firewall
 
Found the answer myself, sorry to bother, the remote computer needs to let calls to epmap go thru the firewall.
