I am trying to configure the firewall on an XP SP2 box via domain group
policy, but the workstation stoutly ignores the domain GP firewall settings.
The settings are transferred to the workstation registry OK, but the
workstation ignores them and uses its own local default settings. When I
look at the firewall settings, it says "Windows Firewall is using your
non-domain settings". The settings the firewall is using are in a different
part of the registry to the domain settings.
Group policy keys (ignored)
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall
Local firewall settings (used)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy
What is going on? Is there a group policy instruction to switch that I have
missed out?
