Re: Which Registry Values store these Windows Firewall GPO settings......


Thanks for your insight..I want to find how each Windows Firewall GPO
setting located in
GROUP POLICY\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates
\Network Connections\Windows Firewall
is configured [whether set to Enabled/Disabled] using a script that
will read Registry values that store these.

Couple of things -
1] The spread*** "PolicySettings.xls" [I mentioned in my 1st post]
gives all the registry values associated with a Windows Firewall GPO
Setting. Is there a source that gives which exactly which Registry
value(s) store(s) each setting ?

2] Roger wrote "You know, the most quick way to answer these sorts
of things is to
set up a brief experiment. "

There are multiple interfaces using which Remote Desktop Exception can
be configured. So, the effect of changing the Policy setting in GPO
Editor is not readily visible.
These settings are available in the GPO Editor & the effect of Remote
Desktop Exception is also possible through the My Computer>Properties-
Remote Tab

I'm not aware if there are other interfaces that bring about the same
effect as the other Windows Firewall GPO settings too
Is there any way to see the effect of changing the GPO settings only
without any influence from other places where they are set? Setting
up an experiment will be a lot easier then.
