Well, I'm not sure that managing the service directly is a good way to
handle it. That assumes that your users can figure out how to go in and
restart the service? That also assumes they have some level of admin. access
to do that?

Darren,
I did not use that because I wanted this to a setting the user can change if
needed. Was I correct in assuming I needed to use a preference?

Jack-
I think you'd be better off using the Windows Firewall with Advanced
Security feature in Vista GP to control the firewall on Vista. Have you used
that area before?

I have created a simple GPO using group policy preferences to stop the
Windows XP firewall service (SharedAccess) and to stop the Vista firewall
service (MpsSvc). I configured: Computer Configuration > Preferences >
Control Panel Settings > Services.
I created an entry for service "MpsSvc" with the Action to stop the service,
Startup as No Change, and Account Logon as No Change.
I created a second entry for service "SharedAcess" with the same settings.
The GPO works fine for XP machines, but I see no change for Vista. The RSOP
shows the GPO was applied as does the Group Policy event log. I have tried
to run this with an Account Logon of Local System, but that made no
difference. I suspect it is a Vista UAC issue, so does anyone see
anything I missed?
