Re: Firewall profile switching

The link below helps to explain the network determination behavior though
there is some dispute on exactly how it works. What I would try after you
remove the computer from the network to run gpupdate /force on the computer
to see if that makes a difference. If that works then do the procedure again
and try using just gpupdate. If gpupdate /force or gpupdate work then if
you need to you can change the Group Policy refresh interval for computer
configuration and policy processing [if needed] that can speed up the
changing of profiles for Windows Firewall with the understanding you want to
do that only for computer that need it as reducing the interval and
particular policy processing to force Group Policy to be reapplied at each
refresh will increase network usage. --- Steve

Hello all,

I'm currently testing a GPO to hopefully go live that will enable /
disable
the windows firewall depending on the location of our users. The GPO
itself
is fine - what i'm having trouble with is switching profiles
automatically.

If I boot off the network, then the standard profile is applied just fine.
once i connect to the network the domain profile is applied almost
immediately. the problem is though, that once i disconnect again from the
network, the domain profile stays current. even when i connect to an
outside
network, the domain profile stays active. is this supposed to happen? am i
not waiting long enough for the profile to switch back to standard?

thanks very much!
-Pete
