I'm one of those who deployed SP2 after a few weeks testing, and with the firewall GPOed off. I'm going to look into that firewall pretty soon. I'm interested in the policydriven settings! It was talked a lot about at Teched Europe this year, so I got very curious. 8-) It's either that one, or the Symantec Client Security FW that comes bundled with their antivirus software, and which we only use the antivirus part of. --Original Message Text--- From: Sullivan, Glenn Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2004 14:38:46 -0500 Talk about fear-of-the-unknown... once you understand the firewall, it's really not that hard. That's almost as bad as the people who DO roll out SP2, and then disable the Firewall via GPO because it is faster than trying to figure out the exceptions that a given environment actually needs...
