Windows firewall configuration

[Tim]

I am trying to configure windows firewall through Active directory on my
2003 server. I do not have any add in that has windows firewall as an
option to configure. Where can I get the updated active directory add in to
do this?

Thanks

If you mean that you're trying to configure the Windows Firewall on your
clients, then Group Policy is your answer. You may have to update your
adm's to provide all of the options to configure the XP SP2 firewall.

Hello,

Thank you for the help. I am trying to find out how to update in order to
do this. I have been unsuccesful in finding the correct add-in template for
active directory. Can you help me as to where I can locate this?

Here you go:

You just need to open the GPO from an XP SP2 machine to upgrade the .adm
files on the domain controller.
