XP Port exceptions on multiple machines

[Fredly]

There has got to be a way to add a couple port exceptions to the XP SP2
firewall on multiple machines without running around and typing them.

Registry import?
Group Policy?

Anyone?

Could I simply do a registry import of these two keys?

For SAVCE 10:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\Fi
rewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List]
"2967:TCP"="2967:TCP:*:Enabled:2967"
"139:TCP"="139:TCP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22004"
"445:TCP"="445:TCP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22005"
"137:UDP"="137:UDP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22001"
"138:UDP"="138:UDP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22002"
"38293:TCP"="38293:TCP:*:Enabled:38293"


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameter
s\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List]
"2967:TCP"="2967:TCP:*:Enabled:2967"
"139:TCP"="139:TCP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22004"
"445:TCP"="445:TCP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22005"
"137:UDP"="137:UDP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22001"
"138:UDP"="138:UDP:LocalSubNet:Enabledxpsp2res.dll,-22002"
"38293:TCP"="38293:TCP:*:Enabled:38293"

Anyone know if this would work ok?

Seems to work ok, I hope that registry import is a decent workaround...

Carey is right, if you are setup as a domain. Then you can generate a GPO and
link it to the OU containing the computer objects.
