In case anybody wants the quick'n'easy version:
Install the two SBS updates as below
Install XP SP2 on clients
The Security Centre will be on, but the firewall can't be manually switched
off at the client end
If you want to do this (for whatever reason):
On the SBS server open Server Management, Group Policy Management, Forest
(name of your domain), Domains, Your Domain, Group Policy Objects
Right click Small Business Server Windows Firewall and Edit
Computer Config, Admin templates, Network, Network Connections, Windows
Firewall, Domain Profile
Change Windows Firewall: Protect all Network Connections to Enable/Disable -
note this affects all computers in the domain
Had to reboot the client in question, but this effectively disabled the
firewall in SP2...

>> We have an SBS2003 Premium network with three XP client PCs
