RE: Windows XP firewall and RPC question

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hello Lesa,

Thank you for posting.

According to my experience, the issue may be caused by the OM itself. I
suggest you contact the manufacturer and confirm the following things:
1. Does the software use compatible RPC and DCOM with Windows?
2. Does the software use other protocols or some specific ports?

Now, I am providing you the steps to disable Windows Firewall via GPO:
1. Open or create a GPO.
2. Extend Computer configuration>Administrative templates>Network>Network
connections, then disable "Windows Firewall: Protect all network
connections" in both "domain profile" and "standard profile" containers.
Note: The policy is a computer-based policy. So please make sure the
machine account(s) is in the OU which you configure on.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
John Chen, MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA, MCSD
