Hi,

I have AD implementation in my organization. We are divided between
the main hq and 37 remote sites. Recently we wanted to roll out SP2 to
all our workstations in the hq and remote sites. We have a checkpoint
firewall in between the hq and remote sites. For the workstations at
the hq, we are not experiencing any problem with managing the windows
firewall via OU/AD. We are able to manage the exceptions, greting out
the options etc. However it is the reverse for the remote sites
workstations. Is there a specific port to added in the firewall rules?
Thanks for any suggestion.
