The “netsh advfirewall consec” command does not preserve the order of the authentication methods that are specified in a connection security rule on a Windows Vista-based computer

You use the netsh advfirewall consec command together with the auth1 or auth2 authentication parameters to create a connection security rule that will work together with authentication methods that are specified on a Windows Vista-based computer. After you do this, the order of the values that you specify for the auth1 or auth2 parameters is not preserved in the connection security rule. Regardless of the order in which you specify the values for the auth1 and auth2 parameters, the connection security rule is created together with authentication parameters that are specified in the following order:

Auth1: ComputerKerb, ComputerCert, ComputerPSK, ComputerNTLM, Anonymous

Auth2: ComputerCert, UserKerb, UserCert, UserNTLM, Anonymous

For example, the following command creates a connection security rule that lists the ComputerKerb authentication method before the ComputerNTLM authentication method in the first authentication set:

netsh advfirewall consec add name=�Authentication Test� endpoint1=any endpoint2=any action=requestinrequestout auth1=computerntlm,computerkerb

Note: The netsh advfirewall consec set command also displays the same behavior when you use the auth1 or auth2 parameter with it.
