Jack-
I think you'd be better off using the Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security feature in Vista GP to control the firewall on Vista. Have you used
that area before?

Subject: [gptalk] Stopping Vista Firewall Service not working
I have created a simple GPO using group policy preferences to stop the
Windows XP firewall service (SharedAccess) and to stop the Vista firewall
service (MpsSvc). I configured: Computer Configuration > Preferences >
Control Panel Settings > Services.
I created an entry for service "MpsSvc" with the Action to stop the service,
Startup as No Change, and Account Logon as No Change.
I created a second entry for service "SharedAcess" with the same settings.
The GPO works fine for XP machines, but I see no change for Vista. The RSOP
shows the GPO was applied as does the Group Policy event log. I have tried
to run this with an Account Logon of Local System, but that made no
difference. I suspect it is a Vista UAC issue, so does anyone see
anything I missed?
