From: joe53 on 5 Aug 2010 07:47
Hello All,

I just setup SBS 2008 Standard with Windows 7 Professional network/Domain.
I'm having issues with the the firewall on all the pc's being greyed out
I've done ALOT of reseach on this and haven't been able to resolve the
issue. I'm comfortable in the group policy area and I've followed the
suggested practice of disabling the Network connection on the Domain level
and there where multiple suggestions and I tried them all(all that I have
found anyway). One suggested configuring the local policies for the the
Domain level and I did that as well. I'm hoping someone else has a few
thoughts on this. Also, a seperate issue I'm not able to get my scripts
working, meaning I've created a fairly start forward script on the Server
tied the user profile to the script in AD and I can't seem to connect to the
mapping in the script, I can do a drive mapping with no problem but that
isn't very effecient.
Any thoughts or suggtions would be appreciated,
Craig

It's not clear me what issues you're having with the firewall

Regarding Login Scripts...these really no longer apply in SBS 2008 You should be looking at Group Policy Preferences for Mapped drives and so on

On 2003 (so I assume its the same with 2008) there is a policy setting to
enable/disable the firewall on member pcs. I tend to ensure that the
firewall is enabled and that user's can't turn it off.

Under 2003 the relevant settings are found in the polcy under:
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Network > Network
Connections > Windows Firwall > Domain Profile

Just checked and it looks the same in 2008.

If you have "Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections" set to
disabled then no-one will be able to use the Windows firewall, if enabled
then everyone has to use it. I suspect that's the setting you are after.

I can't turn on or off the firewall on the clietn pcs. Thanks Brian for the help but I already made the changes to the;
Computer Configuration > Administrative templates > Network > Network
Connections > Windows Firwall > Domain Profile
and that didn't do anything.
Per my last email Cris I had said that:
"I'm having issues with the the firewall on all the pc's being greyed out "
I can't make any changes to the setting due to the firewall being grayed out.
The scripts should still work though shouldn't they? I've done a half dozen migrations to 2008 and this is the first issue I've had
with the scripting?
Thanks for you input,
Craig

You are aware that any changes to the policy take a little while to propogate out to clients? I know you can force an update or see whether the change you made has come into effect today. If its not policy related then I've no idea what else it might be.
