Owen and Crina,
THANK YOU! This did fix the problem... The reason this needed to be done
was so that I could run a virus scan from the server using Symantec Antivirus
10.0 Corporate Edition... However is it inherntly bad to disable the firewall
settings?
Thank you again,
Luke

Hi Luke,.
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
It seems that you want to change the Windows Firewall settings on the
Windows XP computers so that the users can enable/disable/configure it
manually. Before going any further, I would first check to make sure you
have done things clearly on the server:
After you install the Windows XP SP2 in your SBS 2k3 network, you may need
to install the Update for SBS 2k3 server first, please refer to the
following article.
872769 You cannot configure Windows Firewall settings or Security Center
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=872769
If you want to modify the Group Policy setting that is configured when you
installed the Windows Small Business Server 2003 Update for Windows XP SP2,
install the hotfix on the SBS server that is described in the following
Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
842933 "The following entry in the [strings] section is too long and has
been truncated" error message when you edit or view Group Policy in Windows
Server 2003, in Windows XP, or in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=842933
After installing the above 2 hotfixes, please use the following steps to
edit the GPO
1. Start -> Administrative Tools -> Group Policy Management.
2. Expand Domains -> Your Domain.
3. Right click the Small Business Server Windows Firewall and click Edit.
4. Computer configuration>Administrative templates>Network>Network
connections> Windows Firewall> Domain Profile.
5. In "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" should be set to
'Disable'.
6. Run Gpupdate /force on your XP2 client.
7. Logon and logoff your client and test your issue again.
For managing the Windows XP SP2 firewall under SBS network, you may also
need the following article
Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Small Business Server
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/deploy/sbs_xpsp2.mspx
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Crina Li (MSFT)
