I'm looking for a script that will be added to the AD login script on win 2000 server.
The script will automatically add a program in the firewall exceptions tab ("vnc").
Designated win xp sp2 workstation fire wall.

First of all. I would avoid using VNC it is not very secure. Use Remote desktop in high encryption mode. (through VPN if accessing from Internet)

Group Policy may be better to manage the firewall as you are in an AD domain.

Download the document from Microsofts site below and read page 37 on....

This shows the new netsh firewall commands and their syntax... Good luck..
