Hi
SUS will not be able to do this for you.
If you have Active Directory, use a Group Policy for this.
There are several solutions available to disable the firewall
not using GPO.
Here are two ways:
1)
Adding the registry values below, this can be done either
before or after SP2 is installed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainPro
file
\EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardP
rofile
\EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)
Those registry values are documented in WF_XPSP2.doc
WF_XPSP2.doc "Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for Microsoft
Windows XP with Service Pack 2" is downloadable from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4454e0e1-61fa-4
47a-bdcd-499f73a637d1
2)
The following command line will disable SP2's firewall (must be
run after SP2 is installed and at least one reboot is done):
netsh.exe firewall set opmode mode=disable profile=all
(this will do the same as the registry values above)
The netsh.exe syntax is also documented in WF_XPSP2.doc.
If you want to disable the firewall service as well, run this command
line (do not remove the space after start= ):
sc.exe config SharedAccess start= disabled

Subject: [windows2000] Win XP SP2 modification
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify
WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe
and pack it back into the executable. I wanted to modify the netfw.inf
to
change the firewall settings before installing it on a machine...
Best Regards,
Eduardo
