Windows Firewall and SCOM Agent

When windows firewall is enabled by group policy on clients and you want to install SCOM agent using discovery in SCOM console, you get a message saying "RPC server is unavailable" at the end of discovery and agent install fails.

The below powershell script reads computer accounts from AgentList.txt and uses .net to stop windows firewall service on the remote host (as powershell does not support remote shell at the moment) and then uses discovery to install SCOM agent. After finishing, it starts the Windows Firewall service again.
