That's already there, but if possible I want something more robust. I don't know what the Win2k3 firewall lets through without me telling it to. It also doesn't allow me to trap outbound traffic if desired.

I tried installing Zonealarm on a remote Win2k3 server system, but I ended up locking myself out. I needed to get tech support to disable zonealarm.<br />

Is there a software firewall for Win2k3 server which explicitly allows for remote installation? Ideally it would provide some sort of remote administration console that I could use to disable the firewall if I stupidly lock myself out again.

Firewall that allows me to install it remotely

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
