Firewall Settings when Joing a Domain Chris Edwards 06-24-2008

 Hello!

We have several windows 2003 servers that we are trying to join to a domain
controller but we do not want to change or reset their current firewall
settings. When we join a windows 2003 server to the domain the firewall
rules are reset.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Edwards

Thanks for trying to help. But that is not the problem. The problem is
that when I join a server to the domain it resets the server's firewall
rules. I need it to keep the firewall settings exactly the same as I did
before I joined the domain. Otherwise I have to re-setup every exception on
every sever as I join them to the domain.

Thanks!

Seems a very simple problem to me, if you know you're going to joining the
server to the domain, don't setup firewall policies until after you've
joined the domain.

I thought so also, but I have no firewall policies on the domain
controllers. The domain controllers have been freshly installed with no
custom policies.


Thanks,

Chris Edwards
