Windows Firewall problem GP0 SP3

Question

I have recently rolled XP service pack 3 out on the estate, and for some reason it is enabling the windows firewall. I have a group policy that disables the windows firewall but SP3 is turning it on. Is there any way in GPO that I can turn this off, or is there a setting in SP3 that can be done globally.

Cheers

How are you turning it off via GPO? My suggestion is to use GPO to set the Windows Firewall service to disabled.

Have you verified that the GPO is being applied to the computers in question? – joeqwerty Jun 17 '10 at 23:24
