How do I make GP for machine exception of XP-SP2 firewall?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely,microsoft.public.windows.group_policy,microsoft.public.windows.server.general (More info?)

Here is what I would do. I would create a seperate container in Active
Directory and move the two machine in question into it. I would then create
a seperate group policy to be applied to those two machines that disable the
Microsoft firewall.
