How to enable ping response in Windows Server with commandline

This is just a quick guide to enabling a server to respond to ping, the default setting in Windows Server is to disable. I would like to recommend this command "Netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8". While running this command, just wait since it takes a little time and this is the result:,

Netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable

Once enabled you can also simply disable the ping utility also by repeating the same above steps the only difference would be the command name. Open the command prompt in Administrator mode as described earlier. You will have to type “Netsh firewall set icmpsetting 8 disable” in the command prompt.
