Is there an automatic way to shut off or better, provide for exceptions to the Windows Firewall? For example, I want to install UltraVNC silently, but after install I can't reach it because the Windows firewall doesn't have an exception for it until I sit down at the machine.Any suggestions?
You can supply sane defaults for the Windows Firewall for XP & 2003 by modifying the netfw.inf file in your installation sources. See http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/6490c9fc-6c06-4304-b61c-5577af1445d01033.mspx?mfr=true (specifically, the "Windows Firewall Automated Installation Tools and Settings" topic). Remember that you'll need to use compress/expand on the netfw.in_ file in the installation sources, though. This approach is better than doing any post-install stuff, simply because running "netsh firewall reset" will pick up your customizations this way. Doing post-install additions/removals/changes, and then later running "netsh firewall reset" will destroy those changes... I've done this with a decent amount of success here.
