Can it be those 2 servers are bound to a GPO that not allows the windows firewall to be turned on (or are prevented by commercial anti virus software?)

Hi - I have posted this question once before but it did not get resolved. Have also looked extensively online for answers but have had no luck.<br />
<br />
Basically the Windows Firewall service on 2 of our servers won't start with &quot;server specific error code 2144206813&quot;. &nbsp;The only means of resolving it is to remove the server from the domain, delete it's entry in AD. Then log onto the server locally and start the Windows Firewall service. Rejoin it to the domain and Bingo! &nbsp;it works. <br />
However, the next time that the server is rebooted for any reason, the firewall service turns off again and can't be restarted which takes us back to step one.

Windows firewall service wont start on Server 2008

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
