deploying service pack2 and disable firewall

[Michael Kearney]

Are there any switches or any way to deploy serice pack2 while disabling the
firewall at install, or do we need to create a group policy to disable it
after install? Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I suggest you use group policy for this, it is by far the simplest
and easiest way.
