Proxy Settings GPO and XP SP2

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

Hi,

My SP2 machines work fine. However, prior to deploying SP2, did you download
the SP2 ADM's from MS (or from the C:\windows\inf folder on an SP2 machine)
and upgrade your server ADM's?

Did you set to disable the Firewall for the domain? It is automatically on
for Windows XP SP2 unless you disable manually or with GP.

Cheers,

Lara
