Description
I am trying to use your script to configure my firewall for SQL AlwaysOn Clusters where full access is given to the nodes in the cluster via a Firewall rule. We are moving to DHCP so I want to use the Remote Machine Name so I would like to know how the RemoteMachine Parameter works. Am I able to put in the AD Computer account Name or does it have to be the SID of the computer account?
