netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

this will set the firewall for all profiles to off

You can verify/configure using
Administrator Tools
Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
then check Domain, Private and Public Profile
you can modify the Remote Desktop rule and under scope change the Remote IP address to any IP address (meaning to allow access from any IP, not that I am saying put any old IP address in this block)
By default, this server will allow RDP from systems on the local LAN but block any from ‘foreign’ IP range.

As I am unable to connect via IP or FQDN however I can ping the servers fine via FQDN or IP from the machine/s I am trying to connect from. Could you please be so kind to guide me with some specific instructions on how to verify/confirm the firewall is disabled on all profiles?

Thank you so much in advance.
