Control the Firewall via Command Line?

I am an administrator for the tech department at a community college and I need information on how to manage Norton's firewall from the command line or any other method I can turn into a script. We are planning to upgrade our network so our students can only connect if they have a firewall turned on but we can't make that upgrade until we are able to configure the students firewalls properly. I found information on the forum about how to do it in Mac but not Windows. Here's the link for Mac http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-for-Mac/Control-the-firewall-and-antivirus-via-the-command-line/td-p/51556
