I would personally go the GPO route rather than local simply because of the
likelihood of any local rules getting missed during a replacement, migration,
etc. Then again, I'd probably create a security group for each of those to
control it so that if I had another machine that needed the same rule set it
can just be dropped into the group.
That said, I'm a big fan of making a GPO do one thing, or a group of related
things, so I have visibility and granular control if needed.

Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: Default rule set for Windows Firewall
So I ended up creating a GPO that will apply to all servers and be our default
rule set. For servers requiring specific rules, I can either create separate
GPOs or apply the rules locally on the server. I'm leaning towards the latter
because I'd like to avoid creating a lot of GPOs that may contain only one or
two rules and that are linked to a single server. Just curious how others
handle this.
Daniel.

Just designing a default ruleset for Windows Firewall that can be applied to
all our servers via Group Policy. Anyone have any suggestions or examples
they'd be willing to share?
Daniel.
