I am attempting a silent push distribution of XP SP2 to workstations.. I
have to disable Firewall and Security center. I have settings figured out
for notification disables from Security Center.
SO far when the install finishes and I reboot , I get the "Help Protect your
PC" message.. I want to pre configure this so it will not prompt.
After logging in Security Center pops up, and it shows Firewall is enabled.
I do not want this to pop up and want firewall disabled.

Any ideas?

It is built into the update. You should be able to just check 'disable' upon
install and take care of that. It is a pain to have to do that on a network
install, but I don't have any answer for you. Maybe someone else might help
you. I have done several and had to disable it on each workstation.
