Look up Network Location Awareness/NLA as to the magic of the locations/profiles.
I've only really deployed the Windows Firewall on servers so I just set the rules to apply across all profiles and force them all to behave uniformly. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c - 312.731.3132 From: Jeff Bunting [mailto:bunting.j...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2010 1:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 2008 Firewall Anyone have some good links to in-depth articles to recommend about the builtin Win2008 firewall, particularly in regards to profiles? I have a 2008 domain member which says the public profile is active rather than the domain profile, which, from what I've read, should be applied automatically. I verified the DC can be resolved via nslookup (_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain). Also would like to be able to get backup network (172.16.x) to appear as a private rather than public network. thanks, Jeff ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
