xp sr-2 firewall modifications

[lev]

Hello,
I'm trying to enable remote admin on the firewall through the netfw.inf
file. I have tried the wfinf_guide from microsoft but the entry regarding
remote admin doesn't seem to work.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...1d-2f97-4e63-a581-bf25685b4c43&displaylang=en

HKLM,"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\RemoteAdminSettings","Enabled",0x00010001,1

I have also tried to open ports 135 TCP and 445 TCP. Although they open
correctly remote admin still doesn't work. As soon as I manually turn off
the firewall remote admin works without any problems.

Has anyone managed to get this to work successfully? If so how?

Tnx

please verify that the firewall believes it is supposed to use the Domain
profile.
ie "netsh firewall show currentprofile" would need to say Domain and not
Standard.

I actually put it in both profiles and it doesn't work. I discovered that
the remote desktop has to be in the standard profile and can be changed
using



Netsh firewall set service remotedesktop enable

Or

Netsh firewall set service type = remotedesktop mode = enable scope = all
profile = standard



If you set it to profile = domain it will fail if the computer is part of a
domain or not.

I never did get the inf file modification to work.

Tnx anyways David.

did you want RemoteDesktop or RemoteAdministration? they are two different
beasts with their own sets of regkeys.
