I'm investigating the possibility of configuring a domain and I had a
security related question...

In an W2K AD environment (with 2000/XP clients in a W2K domain), do
personal (software) firewall products (or others I guess) interfere
with the ability of domain admins to send administrative messages to
the clients (ie: viewing files, registry changes, other policy
enforcement, etc.)?

I guess another angle of asking is whether the server-to-client
communication is all via TCP/IP or does/can it use another protocol?

Thanks,
Fred
