Going around to some of the workstations in my workplace, I've noticed that some of the computers have Windows Firewall disabled, while others have it enabled. Under a GPO, the policy, "Windows Firewall: Protect all network components" is enabled, however some computers have the firewall disabled.

So, is there anyway to force the Windows Firewall on, and not allow the users to turn it off?

I would look at the ou's, containers etc that these PC's reside in. Group Policy is Group Policy, but not if these machines are either not a part of the domain, or are in unaffected ou's/Containers.

Do a GPRESULT, or RSOP on the PC that isn't complying with the set policy. This will tell you what the PC is receiving from GPO.
