The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Group Policy:  How do I enable Windows Firewall for public connection, but disable for company LAN/WAN/VPN?

Asked by OSUPropa in Consumer Firewalls, Miscellaneous Security, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: , , ,

I need to do the following with Windows XP SP2 (Windows) Firewall via Group Policy:

AUTOMATICALLY (NO USER INTERACTION) ENABLE WINXP SP2 WINDOWS FIREWALL
*  ONLY while a system is on a non company DNS domain (public access).  The Firewall should be DISabled while on the corporate LAN/WAN/Domain etc..
*  While Firewall is enabled, make certain Outlook Web Access, Outlook HTTP access, Internet web browsing, and VPN connections can remain operational.

WHAT IS KNOWN
*  Group Policy:  Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network>Network Connection>Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS domain network .... Know this makes certain the Firewall is not activated while the system is connected directly to the domain - LAN/WAN (not certain if this includes VPN or just certain forms of VPN)

*  The Domain Profile folder and Standard Profile folder exist to differentiate settings for corp and public access

*  If the "Protect All Network Connections" GPo is enabled, the 'Prohibit use of Internet Connection Firewall on your DNS Domain network GPo is voided

QUESTION

How does one make certain the Firewall is indeed ENABLED while on the Public connection and include necessary exceptions without having an admin user turn the Firewall on manually?  I'm pretty certain I see how to add the exceptions, but don't see where the Firewall can be enabled automatically without user interaction, and without voiding the "...no Firewall on your DNS Domain" GPo?

Greatly appreciate your time!
