I have a group policy set up for workstations that automatically is supposed to turn off the Windows XP Firewall.
For some reason if I check the status of the firewall after a user signs on the firewall is on.

If i run gpupdate /target:computer then the firewall turns off so I know (I think) that the policies are assigned to the correct OU.

Can anyone tell me what to check?

Thanks

are your users in any other group that doesn't have this GPO applied to it? remember GPO's are applied in group order, unlike permissions that state that the most restrictive applies

remember, inheritancy is a bugger with windows servers, a user account inherits its permissions from the lowest-level OU the user is located in.

try Putting the GPO in the root of the domain and set your security filtering. Make sure you're OU's don't block inheritance. let me know if this helps, if it doesn't we'll try another approach, probably nesting the GPO on the OU :D
