Re: Windows Firewall Group Policy Settings

I have heard of that happening more than a few times. If for some reason you
want to enable the Windows Firewall on your domain controllers I would be
sure to configure the standard profile to be the same as the domain profile
and then you will be covered either way. Otherwise you may want to
reconsider configuring the Windows Firewall on domain controllers and you
could disable the possibility via the Group Policy linked to the domain
controllers container. --- Steve
