I have a very simple firewall policy I set up on my network for the windows firewall. Configured as Domain Profile (Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections)Disabled and Standard Profile with the same component enabled. On all xp systems this has always equated to the firewall being ‘off’ while on our network and the “firewall on” when anywhere else. Vista system under this gpo however are always enabled and I can not seem to get it to work as do the XP systems. The only way I can have it off on the network is to disable both afore mentioned settings to disabled which means no firewall, no way, when the system is off the network, as far as all my tests have shown. It seems to me that there is something wrong some where as to how vista defines the standard and domain profiles in the gpo. I am by no means a gp expert quite obviously but I really need to have vista firewall perform the same as the XP systems someone please show me the way. All assistance is appreciated!
