Thanks for the info..one last question...did you have to disable the
Windows Firewall on XP SP2 clients before deploying SEP client
packages? We had to on the previous Symantec version and the Windows
Firewall option to turn off is greyed out (we think by GPO)on the
SBS2003 clients. We have not tried to deploy SEP yet, but wanted a
heads up.


I always disable the "Windows" firewall in a LAN, except for laptops.

The windows firewall is useless inside a LAN environment in almost all
cases.
