Configuring Windows Firewall for Performance Application and RPC?

[Will]

How do you configure the Windows Firewall to allow a remote computer to run
a performance graph of the computer remotely? Does this require you to
open up RPC for all applicaitons, or can you specify the RPC end points in
some way?

What is required in Windows Firewall to be able to run RPCDump against a
Windows XP machine?

If you are using XP Pro you can use Group Policy [gpedit.msc for local] to
enable allow remote administration exception or use the command netsh
firewall set service type = remoteadmin mode = enable [may also work on XP
Home]. Exception for file and print sharing may also need to be enabled
with the appropriate scope. Enabling the firewall log to see what traffic is
being dropped can also be helpful in tweaking. RPC dynamic port allocation
can be problematic for firewalls but there may be a workaround to manage the
possible ports that can be used per the second link below. --- Steve
