This pattern is useful when a reporting host needs remote access to event logs on domain controllers.

It is adapted from Examples/RunMe-FixFirewallIssues.ps1.

Example

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$domainControllers = Get-ADDomainController -Filter *

Invoke-Command -ComputerName $domainControllers.HostName {
    Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup 'Remote Event Log Management' -Enabled True -PassThru |
        Select-Object DisplayName, Enabled
}

What this demonstrates

• selecting domain controllers from Active Directory
• enabling the Windows Firewall rule group required for remote event log access
• returning the changed rule state for review
