RE: Integrate XP Windows firewall in a W2k domain #3

Ok my bad on the link I didn't see the 2nd part. I got it to work. But I
still run into same issue as previous. I open an XP sp2 PC as admin. I go
to add the snap in. I do not have choice of Group Policy Object Editor.
There is only Group Policy. What am I missing here? Does this have to be on
a server or will a laptop do? I do not have any W2k3 DC's. I do have a W2k3
server. It has the GPOE but does NOT have the Network, Network Connections,
Firewall selections as laid out by these instructions as the GP (Default
Domain Policy) is on a W2k DC. So what part of this am I missing? Thanks

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.

| I have asked this question in other area and keep getting answers for

It
