Eduardo Funny you asked that question. Im looking for the exact same thing. You cannot use GP to enable ICF in XP SP1. In SP2, ICF is enabled by default and there are GPO entries you can use to control the firewall. The only thing Ive found on the net is a VBS script that enables the firewall (for SP1). However this doesn't help if you want to configure the firewall. Im yet to find out where the firewall parameters live (for customisations). Ive checked the registry and filesystem and cannot find anything. Does anyone out there remotely manage firewall settings????
