You do not have the correct permissions to open the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security console. You must be a member of the Administrators group or the Network Operators group to perform this task. For more information, contact your system administrator. Error code: 0x5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
This has to do with the permissions pertaining to the Windows Firewall registry key (SharedAccess), and here is what I did to fix the error:<\/p>\n
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SYSTEM \\ CurrentControlSet \\ services \\ SharedAccess \\ Parameters \\ FirewallPolicy<\/div>\n
Right-click FirewallPolicy<\/b>, and click Permissions…<\/p>\n

Click OK, then OK, OK in the resulting dialog boxes.<\/p>\n
See if you’re able to open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security MMC snap-in now.<\/p>\n
Well! I could, after completing the above steps.<\/i><\/p>\n
