You are right they need to be local administrators. I don't know of any easy
workaround for you but what I would look at is using Group Policy startup or
shutdown scripts which run in system context that you might be able to make
some use of. If the computers are shut down before classes change you could
try to have different Group Policy settings for what you need for the
various classes and then change the Group Policy before the new class and
run gpupdate on the domain controller and hopefully when the computers
startup again they will have the new Group Policy firewall settings or
possibly even try a logon script with gpupdate which offhand I can't
remember if that works for a regular user. You could have several Group
Policies configured for just the firewall settings and linked to the
container that the computers are in and enable only the one you want for the
new class. You can use rsop.msc on a XP Pro domain member to see the current
Group Policy settings for a user/computer and the GPO that is enforcing the
setting. --- Steve

Hi!
I have a 30 XP pro machine lab in a windows 2003 server domain.
For some classes it is necessary to change the workstation's firewall
settings, or even disable it completly, and then enable it for the
following
class. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't see a way of doing this
on
the 2003 server through AD.
i was thinking about a script, but since they are unprivileged users, the
can't run it, right ?
Any help is welcome!
Thanks
Best regards.
David
