Firewall setup

[Guest]

I cannot figure out how to setup the firewall of Windows XP SP2 without
disabling it in order to allow using wmimgmt.msc to manage the PC remotely.
Anyone knows it?

Thanks.

See the link below on how to configure the remote administration exception
via command line or Grup Policy and possibly file and print sharing will
also need to be enabled. If you still have problems you could try enabling
firewall logging on a computer and review the log for access failures at the
time when remote administration was attempted which will also show clues as
to what ports/protocols may need to have exceptions created for.
