Where is Powershell NetSecurity module?

Question

I can't seem to find the NetSecurity module on my system. I am using an Amazon Windows 2008 Server R2 SP1 instance.

Get-Module -ListAvailable on my environment returns this:

ActiveDirectory (I installed this)    
ADRMS    
AppLocker    
BestPractices    
BitsTransfer    
CimCmdlets    
ISE    
Microsoft.PowerShell.Diagnostics/Host/Management/Security/Utility    
Microsoft.WSMan.Management    
PSDiagnostics    
PSScheduledJob    
PSWorkflow    
PSworkflowUtility    
ServerManaer    
TroubleshootingPack

I have tried to install WMF 3.0, but it was reported to be already installed.

The are new modules in powershell 3.0 that are only included as part of the roles/features that ship with Windows Server 2012, and in some cases they are also available on Windows 8. Unfortunately, they cannot be installed on previous versions of Windows, and NetSecurity is one of this module

Tks. Looks like COM object is the only way for me to manipulate firewall rules now.

I'm working on module for Vista/2008+ that implements the important firewall related cmdlets from the NetSecurity module. It will be finished soon and available on github. I'll post on my blog when its ready for distribution.
