More info?)
If you enable the following firewall exception:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network
Connections\Windows Firewall\Domain Profile\Windows Firewall: Allow remote
administration exception
Then you'll be able to do remote RSOP. GP Results uses remote WMI calls over
DCOM. This exception enables those ports.
