Can I specify an application that isn't currently installed for a firewall rule?

Essentially, We deploy machines to clients. I want to know if I can pass through a firewall rule for a program that isn't currently installed. At the moment, my preparation script does not work unless someone has manually installed SQL express 2016/17.



I'm wondering if I can make work in PowerShell:



New-NetFireWallRule  -DisplayName "SQLProgramEnable" -Description "Whitelists the Sqlservr.exe within the firewall" -Direction Inbound -Program "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL14.SQLEXPRESSMSSQLBinnsqlservr.exe"


WITHOUT having the program installed. Could somebody clarify this?



For reference, here is a sample of the script.



#Whitelist the Program depending on edition of Express
if (Test-Path -Path "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL14.SQLEXPRESS")
{New-NetFireWallRule -DisplayName "SQLProgramEnable" -Description "Whitelists the Sqlservr.exe within the firewall" -Direction Inbound -Program "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL14.SQLEXPRESSMSSQLBinnsqlservr.exe"}
else
{New-NetFireWallRule -DisplayName "SQLProgramEnable" -Description "Whitelists the Sqlservr.exe within the firewall" -Direction Inbound -Program "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL13.SQLEXPRESSMSSQLBinnsqlservr.exe"}

  • A firewall blocks all ports unless opened. If you know what port your program will use, you can just open a generic port, and it will work. This is usually the way to go.

  • As my know, firewall can block download software, but for install software with a usb disk, it might can't take effect.
