But exactly which group policy settings need to be changed? I'm the server
administrator, and I'd like to know for myself.
I have a similar issue - my XP-SP2 client workstation (connected to an
SBS2003 server) won't allow me to disable the windows firewall, and it is a
function of the group policy (option to turn off the firewall is greyed out,
obvious message stating, "for your security, some settings are controlled by
group policy"). Even if the workstation is disconnected (and therefore user
is logging on via cached credentials), the 'turn off' option is still greyed
out.
I haven't changed any group policy settings (local or server) - they are all
in default mode (i.e. not configured).
What I'd like to do is allow the user to be able to select whether to turn
the firewall on or off, either while directly connected to the domain (domain
mode) or disconnected (standard mode).
