Do I need to have the windows firewall enabled on my workstations when I have a cisco pix 501 50u? Is there any benefit at all? Thanks

But not really worth the headache keeping it.
The only thing it will do is give you 1 additional level of protection should some knothead bring in a virus or worm that get's past your defenses.
In any normal domain that has something like a propely configured PIX I disable the local firewalls so that I don't get any interference with applications.
I believe that the benefits do NOT out weigh the potential problems that you may see down the road.
Best of luck.
