For those that actually haven't implimented an SP2 rollout for their XP
workstations in their domain yet, you may want to check out the
following article that discusses several ways to rollout SP2 with all
your needed network exceptions pre-defined. Or even how to change
settings after the fact with command line tools like "Netsh".

I disagree with an "un-planned / un-controlled" mass rollout of SP2 .
.that can be a recipe for a great deal of headaches. Plan it out and
test your setup though and you should hardly see any issues when the
rollout occurs.

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.

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...
I'll duck now,
