Thankyou for the reply. At present I have a XP SP2 Firewall GPO that
switches the firewall on and greys out the button to disable it in control
panel. I've also defined some port exceptions within the GPO such as
enabling Remote Assistance, Symantec Corporate management etc.
If I use the batch file as part of the domain login script, will it add the
port ranges considering the group policy is already dictating the firewall
settings? In other words - will the batch file just add to the port
exceptions already defined?
I don't know, try it out by running it manually, it will not be any
different than running it in a GPO based logon or startup script.
One other thing - the first link you gave me seems to be dead :)
