7 Days to Die Manage 7 days to Die Dedicated Server on Windows with Powershell

Prerequisites

Create a windows user: non-admin to install, run steamer, and game server.

Open and forward ports for game server. Rcon (optional)

Firewall Ports

TCP - 26900

UDP - 26900-26902

Webmin and Rcon

TCP - 8080-8081 Only open these if you plan to connect to Webmin and Telnet from outside your Network. I recommend to keep them close and perform admin task locally.
