I need to override the default domain group policy (specifically one policy that turns on Windows Firewall) on one server. &nbsp;I tried placing the computer object in its own OU and defining a policy for that OU that turned off the firewall and checked &quot;block policy inheritance&quot; on the properties, but this didn't work. &nbsp;Is this the correct method or is there another way to do this? &nbsp;Thanks.

Override Group Policy on an Individual Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
