The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Wrong GPO firewall setting for one host.

Asked by hafka in Windows Vista, Windows 2003 Server

We have the following group policy settings in OU:
http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=3777399.png
http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=3777404.png
Domain profile sets firewall off when host is connected to corporate domain. Standard profile sets firewall on when laptops are out of corporate domain network.
For some reason, one desktop computer (Vista Business) thinks it is out of the domain when determining which Firewall profile to use. It is never moved out of the domain. Here is a capture of "netsh firewall show state" command:
Firewall status:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Profile                           = Standard
Operational mode                  = Enable
Exception mode                    = Enable
Multicast/broadcast response mode = Enable
Notification mode                 = Enable
Group policy version              = Windows Firewall
Remote admin mode                 = Disable

Ports currently open on all network interfaces:
Port   Protocol  Version  Program
-------------------------------------------------------------------
135    TCP       Any      (null)
500    UDP       Any      (null)
4500   UDP       Any      (null)
31107  TCP       Any      (null)
31106  TCP       Any      (null)
31105  TCP       Any      (null)

It states that it uses standard profile.
All other hosts state that they use the domain profile:
Firewall status:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Profile                           = Domain
Operational mode                  = Disable
Exception mode                    = Enable
Multicast/broadcast response mode = Enable
Notification mode                 = Enable
Group policy version              = Windows Firewall
Remote admin mode                 = Disable

Ports currently open on all network interfaces:
Port   Protocol  Version  Program
-------------------------------------------------------------------
7801   TCP       Any      (null)
2967   TCP       Any      (null)
2702   UDP       Any      (null)
2702   TCP       Any      (null)
2701   UDP       Any      (null)
2701   TCP       Any      (null)

My goal is that all hosts get the Domain profile in the firewall settings when they are inside the domain network. The computers are in right OU. How should  I proceed?
