I was setting up a SBS 2003 server and ran the standard login file for 2 users, which processed the group policy to allow the windows firewall...which of course cannot be changed on the local workstations...these people do not need a firewall, they are currently using a sonicwall TZ170 unlimited plus ISA...a third is kind of over kill. I found the 2 places the group policy is located as seen below:
Advanced management
Group policy Management
Forest:XXX.local
Domains
XXX.local
Not found
Default Domain Policy
Small Business Server Client Computer
Small Business Server Domain Password Policy
Small Business Server Internet connection firewall
Small Business Server Lockout Policy
Small Business Server Remote Assistance Policy
Small Business Server Windows firewall
Group Policy Objects
Default domain controllers policy
Default domain policy
Small Business Server Client Computer
Small Business Server Domain Password Policy
Small Business Server Internet connection firewall
Small Business Server Lockout Policy
Small Business Server Remote Assistance Policy
Small Business Server Windows firewall
Which one do you change to turn off the firewall? But do I do both locations or does changing it in 1 place takes care of both locations? I noticed that both firewall settings are set to enabled. I assume I change them to all settings disabled, then do a gpudate /force from the command prompt, have the people logon and then logoff the workstations to turn off the firewall.
Thanks!
