Remote Desktop and XP Firewall

[Mark Griffiths]

Hi All,
I have just upgraded one of my customers to SBS2003.
Now on all of the PC's the windows firewall is controlled by a domain policy
and will not let me turn it off - this has stopped me from remote
desktopping onto anyone's machine.

Anyone know - either how to enable the remote desktop access leaving the
firewall on, or where to disable it on the SBS2003 domain?

Any/All help appreciated
Thanks
Mark

Check what port your remote access program uses and add an exception to
your group policy for it.
