Re: XP machine removed from domain still gets domain policy

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I've seen that happen before. With Group Policy, when you take a policy
away, settings won't revert to default. If there isn't another policy
countering a setting to "force" the change, nothing changes.

You could try manually changing the policy settings you need via gpedit.msc.
Personally, any time we have an XP machine that permanently leaves the
domain, I use secedit to reset the machine security. See KB313222.

Hi,

I have an XP machine that was a member of our 2k AD domain. The machine
has since been removed and is now in a workgroup. One of the domain GPO's
disabled the XP firewall and made it so that all options are greyed out,
now I would like to enable the XP firewall, but can;t due to the policy
still taking affect. I have ran gpresult and it say that the last policy
applied was from one of our DC's (a short time ago). I have also tried to
re-enabe in the registry but it does not let me activate the firewall :(.

Any ideas?
