Can I specify values for the firewall option in the unsttended installation
of windows XP pro.
specificly, I want to preset some open ports in the firewall for
services that will be running on a systems we are about to deploy.

Thanks in advanced for any help,

I do not believe you can do this from the unattend.txt file. But you
might be able to do it from a script.

These also look interesting:

....but they apply to the "IPv6 firewall" (part of the "Advanced
Networking Pack" for XP; see
http://support.microsoft.com/?kid=817778). I am not sure how they
relate to the built-in IPv4 firewall.

You might have better luck asking in the windows.server.scripting
group.

Thanks Pat.
BTW, I have been to the http://unattended.sourceforge.net/ site, and I
think your site provides better instructions than the MS Documents,
including the Unattended.doc, the Rssource kit, and 2 of the the MCSE
tranning books. The key is: syntax examples.

Thanks again....
