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.

Microsoft, Windows Firewall, WIndows Firewall satisfy PCI Compliance Requirement 1.3.9?
Our company is working to become level 1 PCI compliant and one of the requirements is this:

Requirement 1.3.9
Verify that mobile and/or employee owned computers with directo connectivity to the internet (for example, laptops used by employees,) and which are used to access the organization's network, have personal firewall software installed and active, which is configured by the organization to specific standards and not alterable by the employee.

Now we were told that the built in Windows Firewall could satisfy this requirement which would be great since it's free, however I'm not sure how you would set it up so that it's not alterable by the employee.  How could this be done?  The laptops our employees have do connect here and there to our company VPN but they don't login to our domain so I don't think a group policy would work, at least on the domain, so what's the best way to go about this?  Would be great to hear from others whom have implemented a level 1 PCI compliant personal firewall solution to see how you did it.  Thanks in advance.
