I wonder if there is a canned Group Policy template we could download that contains the best settings for Windows Firewall that applies to the internal computers to allow stuff like RDP, Mapped drive, Print Sharing, etc. to meet your needs, but then also use the more locked down settings for it when it leaves the network as a laptop would do.

I have never been a fan of the product as I feel it causes more issues than it solves. I don't use it on my Personal computer or laptop either. If a company has a properly configured firewall, and properly installed and configured Enterprise level AntiVirus, is there really a point. I am asking because I am consulting for a client that has it running on their network. I have always disabled it, and need to provide some justification to them either way.
