Hi Nick,
Welcome to our SBS newsgroup.
Issue description:
==============
I understand that you encountered some problem that the GPO could not be
applied to Windows XP SP2 clients correctly.
Analyzing and suggestions:
===============
If you want have the Windows XP SP2 client computer in the SBS domain. This
issue occurs because Group Policy in Windows Small Business Server 2003
disables Windows Firewall for client computers that are running Windows XP
Professional. In order to solve the problem, please applied the hotfix for
Windows XP below:
872769 You cannot configure Windows Firewall settings or Security Center

Please also apply the hotfix below to the SBS 2003:

been
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=842933
================
If the issue still exists, please check the event view on SBS 2003, and

issue more clearly.

| We have a problem on our workstations whereby around half of the time the
| GPOs do not apply correctly but running 'GPUpdate /force' always
temporarily
| fixes the problem. Sometimes I can get all the workstations GPOs working
| correctly then a few hours later they start failing without even
rebooting!
| Sometimes the machine boots and the GPOs are applied even before a user
has
| logged on, is that correct? When are GPOs supposed to be applied?
|
| This manifests itself in Windows Firewall problems when the Firewall
| settings Group Policy does not get applied correctly and the Firewall
| reverts to its XPsp2 defaults. When that happens I find that the server
| cannot remotely manage these workstations, in fact they can't even be
| pinged.
|
| Any suggestions on how I can diagnose this problem?
