Re: Can't turn on Firewall through GPO

Is this computer a member of an Active Directory domain?? It might help to
run rsop.msc on your computer and then look at the firewall settings to see
what it reports for settings and the GPO name that is applying the Group
Policy to see if it is what you expect. --- Steve

Hi All, I'm trying to enable the firewall on my laptop using a GPO. I've
enabled the "Protect all network connections" setting in both the Domain
and
Standard profiles but after doing a gpupdate and reboot the firewall is
still
off. The settings on the firewall are greyed out with the message Windows
Firewall is using your domain settings. I've done a gpresult and
everything
looks fine. There are no other policys effecting this laptop. I've tried
reseting the registry value for EnableFirewall to 1 but it flicks back to
0.
I'm out of ideas. I can see the other setting in the GPO for the firewall
being set but it just won't let me turn it on. Can anyone shed light on
what
might be happening.
Thanks,
Liam.
