Hi,

I have SMS 2003 SP1, advanced mode, advanced clients only. I am planning to
roll out XP SP2 in the near future. I'll use GPO to disable firewall on
enterprise network (domain) as follows:

Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network is
set to Enabled
Domain profile - Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections is set to
Disabled
Standard profile - Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections is set
to Enabled
Is there anything else that should be done on XP SP2 side to make everything
working properly (re: admin console, SMS client in ctrl/panel, DCOM etc)

Thanks,

John
