Re: [ActiveDir] Firewall

[Robbie Foust]

I'm not using the XP firewall yet, but I'll consider it with SP2 since 
it is much better.  The built in firewall isn't supposed to interfere 
with communications with DC's, I think.  Are you getting any specific 
error message when users try to edit their attributes?  Or do they just 
not have permission to do so?  Check the event logs to see if there are 
any errors.

Do you all force your XP clients to have the built-in firewall 
enabled? Are there any cons (such as some GPs not working) to having 
it enabled? The reason I ask is I am having a problem finding the 
culprit which is causing some users the inability to edit their 
"editable" (phone number, homepage, address, etc) attributes. Thanks
