Even easier, just create a separate GP and OU for those users in AD, where
the firewall is off - when they logon, the firewall will be off, when anyone
else logs on the firewall is on. If you have AD and the domain setup
correctly, AD will apply the GP based on the user's GP policy in the OU they
belong.
