John - I have been paying attention to what you're saying, but I haven't been able to contribute. Personally, I've never worked with the batch jobs side of things, and I don't currently have the resources to duplicate and debug the issue you're having.
Sorry I can't help further; perhaps Krishna or Tibor can. Matt - What sort of "weird behavior" are you experincing when you didn't disable Windows Firewall on those dedicated executors?
