Custom Batch File from Scratch - windows

Question

I am tasked with creating a batch file that will do the following:
1) Start Windows Firewall Service
2) Add Entries into Windows Firewall to block network access to some Network Locations
3) Delete the mapped Network Drive
I have got the following command line scripts which do these tasks individually. However, I am not sure how I can put all of them into a single batch file which will do the steps one after the other.
net stop <Service-Name>
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="IP Block" dir=in interface=any action=block remoteip=<IP_Address>/32
net use x: /delete
Can someone please guide on how do I put these commands into a batch file which will simply execute when I run it.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Just place the commands into a text file with the file extention of .bat.
Each command gets its own line.
Below is an example of your file with command line arguments. %1, %2, %n each indicate the position of the command line argument.
E.G. %1 is the first argument, %2 is the second and so on.
net stop %1
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="IP Block" dir=in interface=any action=block remoteip=%2/32
net use x: /delete
You can execute the batch file with the command line arguments:
ScriptName.bat ServiceName 123.123.123.123
And it will execute as follows:
net stop ServiceName
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="IP Block" dir=in interface=any action=block remoteip=123.123.123.123/32
net use x: /delete
Hard coded example:
ScriptName.bat:
net stop wuauserv
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="IP Block" dir=in interface=any action=block remoteip=192.168.0.1/32
net use x: /delete
To execute it, just call the file name:
ScriptName.bat
