Re: How to detect if the Windows XP firewall is enabled on my LAN computers ?

No, because the GPO is blocked by XP firewall; this is my problem ;p)


I'm think I'm still missing something about your environment... if Windows XP is a member of an Active Directory domain, then the member workstation should pull the GPO every 9 hours or the next time the system boots when connected to the corporate network.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

I cannot define a GPO for that because the GPO will not be applied on those computers as the firewall is configured to block incoming trafic.

Thanks

Based on statement of cannot force a GPO, this hints that the workstations are members of an Active Directory domain. Why not configure a GPO that allows certain things to happen (e.g. Remote administration, file sharing, .etc)?

Hi,

a lot of users in our LAN have admin rights (I know it's bad but please it is like that, so please dont blame me about that ;-)).

Some of them have the Windows XP firewall enabled and not configured correctly. By the way, I am not able to detect those computers on the network through a ping and I cannot force a group policy because the firewall is blocking the trafic too; neither remotely request a service state etc...

My question is : How can I detect computers that are running XP firewall ?

Thanks in advance
