Let your XP clients log off n log on for changes to take effect. With the same way you can control any registry setting. But make sure you revert back the setting in policy editor to get that effect off from clients as these changes are tattooed to your box need to revert back precisely for reverse effect.

Samba 3 doesn't support group policies. However, you could install for example WPKG - http://wpkg.org - and execute scripts on your machines as administrator/SYSTEM. You can set the scripts/programs to execute only once on each workstation, which would be your case for disabling firewall. You can disable the builtin firewall on XP with this: netsh firewall set opmode disable -- Tomasz Chmielewski -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
