In that case there is not much you can do via Group Policy itself. If
the firewall settings are the only thing you "really" need, just export
the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall registry key from a
LAN workstation that is receiving the policy and distribute it via other
means (e-mail, file share) to your remote users in the form of a .reg
file. This would only work, though, if they have the local admin rights
required to change that area of the registry.

It's not really the proper way to do things, but it should work.

Regards,
Jamie

Understood, but General Motors will not allow replacement of the msgina.
Therefore, the VPN solution cannot change that approach

        Cisco, for example, has an option to start the vpn before logon.
By doing it this way the users will run Group Policy Object's when
logging on.

        Hi all, 

        Is anyone aware of any free tools available for the remote
distribution of a GPO policy? 

        Here is our situation.  We have a couple thousand users who
connect via VPN only.  They connect after boot-up and cached credential
logon to windows.  Therefore, policies never apply during startup or
logon.  We have a need to administer the XP firewall (among other
things), and are having a very difficult time finding a solution.  Many
of these users are 8 hours away from a building where they can connect
via a local LAN to get policies.

        Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
