Just added that. We'll see if that fixes the problem.

The thing is, there's a long standing GPO (admin template) that allows
RDP, and it's either being ignored or overridden. That's pretty
puzzling.

Also, the new GPO controlling the firewall explicitly turns off the
firewall for the Domain profile, but that's being ignored as well. Any
idea why?
