In

computer configuration > admin templates > network > network connections
> windows firewall

there should be a

"Windows Firewall: Define Port Exceptions" node

but it just aint there!

anyone know how to get it?

regards,

Jay

Hi Jay.

Are you opening af MMC from your workstation or on the server?

Jay

you have to select the domain profile or the standard... domain in when
physically plugged into your network and standard is for if it's a laptop
and it boots off the network...

within the profiles you may define the port exceptions.

you also must open a group policy editor through a MMC console on a win XP
sp2 machine!

good luck

this might help, see under resolution for the system.adm file with the
updated Firewall GP information
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;872769

Possibly you are not running the mmc snap-in for Group Policy if you have
already updated your SBS Server
