RE: Integrate XP Windows firewall in a W2k domain

Thanks but the link you sent goes no where. Your suggestion #1 is the
stumper. How do I update a W2k domain to have the XP firewall selections.
It's same answer I keep getting yet no expalnation on how to do this. The MS
page on manageing Win Firewall thru GPO's and XP doesn't explain it. I have
a Windows 2000 domain with Windows 2000 DC's. Is there some update that
changes the default domain setting to include the XP setting for the GPO?

Hello,

Thanks for posting!

I understand that you want to deploy firewall settings in Windows 2000
domain via GPOs.

The best way to manage Windows Firewall settings in an organization network
is to use Active Directory and the new Windows Firewall settings in
Computer Configuration Group Policy. This method requires the use of Active
Directory with either Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 domain
controllers. Group Policy updates are requested by the domain member
computer, and are therefore solicited traffic that is not dropped when
Windows Firewall is enabled.
When you use Group Policy to configure Windows Firewall, by default local
administrators will be unable to change some elements of its configuration
locally, using the Windows Firewall component in Control Panel. Some tabs
and options in the Windows Firewall dialog box will be grayed out and
unavailable.

The basic steps for deploying Windows Firewall settings for Windows XP SP2
with Active Directory are the following:

1. Update your Group Policy objects with the new Windows Firewall settings.
2. Specify Windows Firewall settings for your Group Policy objects.

For the steps in detail please refer to the section [Deploying Windows
Firewall Settings With Group Policy] in the following URL.

Note To update your Group Policy objects for network environments using
Active Directory and Windows XP SP1, Microsoft recommends that you use the
Group Policy Management Console, a free download. For more information, see
Group Policy Management Console with Service Pack 1.

Hope the information helps.

It
