To all;

I would like to turn on the Windows Firewall application on all network
connected desktops and have seen where this can be done within the Domain
Group Policy. However, I don't want to also turn on the firewalls on my
Windows 2003 servers as this will likely block normal network traffic. Is
there a setting, either within the Domain Group Policy that allows me to
differentiate between servers and desktops for firewalls, or is there a
setting within the server local security policy or server registry that
would allow me to disable that service on the server? I am running 2003 AD,
2003 servers with latest patches, and a mixtures of XP and 2000 desktops
also running latest patches.

Thanks for any help.

R
