View Full Version : SP2 Firewall can't be turned off

We have a small Server 2003 network. We got a few new desktops recently that came with SP2 pre-installed. I've found that the Windows Firewall is not only turned on by default, but the button is grayed out, so it can't be turned off. The dialog box tells me that the setting is determined at the domain level, by group policy. Can anyone tell me how to turn this off?

Thanks.

NC_PersonalFirewallConfig is probably set to 0...set to 1
