Hi All, I have a GPO that disables the firewall for special workstations. I created it when Service Pack 2 was installed, 3/29/05. Both the Domain and the Standard Profile settings are set to "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" Disabled. The "Windows Firewall: Allow authenticated IPSEC Bypass" is also Disabled. Recently some of the PCs that filter this GPO have been experiencing pop-ups that indicate that the firewall is enabled. When I bring up the Windows Firewall under Control Panel "On" is selected and there are partial settings under the Exceptions tab. Can anyone tell me what else I can do to make sure the firewall is disabled? I tried disabling the "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" service but then you cannot RDP into the PC. This has just started since June 23rd. It could be a result of a patch from Microsoft but that is not clearly evident when you read the doc on the patches. Is there a regkey I can use that will force the firewall to be disabled? Thanks for your help. Mary Winter we energies IT Infrastructure Consultant Desktop Services
