Disabling Windows Firewall service using W2K GP

[Guest]

Hi, i'm running Windows 2000 Domain with AD and all my clients are running XP.

All my client are in a Computer OU with some Group Policy settings.

Currently i'm using the GP's System Services Policy (Computer Configuration

Windows Settings > System Services) to Disable the "Messenger" service and

it's working fine.

Is there a way for me to DISABLE the WINDOWS FIREWALL service on my XP
clients using the same gp ? I can't find the Service to disable there ? Can
it be a imported ?

Please help or advice.
Thanking you in advance.

Just download the GPMC and install it on your Admin XP Workstation. Than you
will find the right policy.
