I AM TRYING TO CROSS-POST NOT MULTI-POST. I'M SORRY IF I MESSED UP. Don't
flame me, just let me know. I am trying.
--------------------------
I have a laptop and a work-station that are part of a SBS domain and they
both have XP-SP2 loaded.

I want to have the MS firewall running on all of the machines except these
two as they both have third-party firewalls loaded. I don't want to remove
the existing firewall and I don't want to install the MS firewall on these
two machines only.

Is there a way to set exceptions (for the MS firewall) with group policy's
but only for these two machines?

I'm not very familiar with GP's.

Thanx, Dave.
