Run rsop.msc on that domain computer to see what it shows for the firewall
settings and what GPOs are applying those settings as it may not be what you
expect from your description. Also with the configuration that you want the
computer will not disable the Windows Firewall until it is on the network
where it detects a domain controller. If DNS is not configured correctly on
that computer it may not find a domain controller even if it is connected to
the network where they are located. Usually that is taken care of via DHCP
and can be verified with the results shown with ipconfig /all. I would also
check the application log on that computer to see if there are any scecli
and/or userenv error/warnings that could indicate failure to find a domain
controller or apply Group Policy. These events are often shown at
startup/logon.

Group,
I have a laptop running xp sp2 that is joined to our one and only domain
and has a windows VPN network connection configured (which works, he gets
an IP from our DHCP).
before shipping to user i logged in locally on to the manged network and
since we had the following group policies:
1. Domain Profile: Protect all network connections : disabled
2. Standard Profile : Protect all network connections: enabled
the firewall settings (as seen from start > run > firewall.cpl) is ON.
because as a remote user he gets on his local 192.168.1.1 private LAN and
VPNs in to our network.
My problem is that I cannot TURN OFF this darn firewall. Even when
changing the Standard Profile group policy, having him reboot and
re-connect to VPN it shows his firewall is ON.
I tried changing the c:\windows\inf\netfw.inf according to MS doc
http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/e/f/6efdbda6-ca9e-4122-9787-3fd7ca7d7f33/WFINF_Guide.doc
but that does nothing (only really tried locally to a computer that has
firewall OFF and i used these instructions to try and turn ON by changing
the domain profile settings but it never worked).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
