GPO for IBM director and XP2 firewall

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Hi there
I am trying to find a GPO så that I can see my IBM director agants on my
PC´s. I am running a Windows 2000 Domaincontroller and XP platforms. After
installing SP2 I can no longer connect to My IBM 4.2 agents.
Anyone have a GPO just for that issue or where can I find a GPO to control
the firewall on the workstations. I supose the firewall is the reason that I
can´t see the agent.
Thanks
Michael Grøn

Hi Michael

Windows XP SP2 Firewall configuration can be managed in group policy under

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network
Connections -> Windows Firewall.

You'll need to use the SP2 .adm files for this. To do so, manage GPO from a
Windows XP SP2 client or install the SP2 .adm files to the %windir%\inf
folder on the machine you're editing the GPO with. You can download the
..adm files from:
