Michael- Tell him to make sure he has a DNS connection suffix set on the DC's TCP/IP properties. I'll bet its blank now. That will probably get him the domain profile. The Hauppage card is great! Thanks again. I'm using it wth Vista MCE and it rocks. -----Original Message----- From: "Michael Pietrzak" <mpietrzak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 11/17/2006 3:49 PM Subject: [gptalk] Re: Domain controller firewall setttings... HI Darren, He indicates that he has a new GPO liked at the domain controllers OU. He has not modified the default domain controller gpo. In his new GPO, when he sets it for "domain profile", the settings do not take hold on the DC. But, when he sets the profile to Standard, they are applied. Not sure if he can change them locally when he states the settings are applied. I will ask now. Thanks! Michael ps, how is your happaugue card working out? ________________________________ From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 3:40 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Domain controller firewall setttings... Michael- Normally when you deliver WF settings via Group Policy, the ability to manually change the firewall settings at the client machine is grayed out (i.e. unavailable) regardless of which profile is in effect. It sounds like you're saying that is only true if the DC is operating in domain profile mode. But, when a standard profile is detected, he is able to change them locally? Correct?

A co-worker of mine is trying to control his domain controllers firewall settings via group policies. He has enabled the server 2003 firewall and is unable to modify the DC's firewall settings when the policy is set at "domain profile". He is able to modify the firewall when it is set to standard profile. Has anyone seen anything like this before and\or can anyone confirm if this is standard?
