Windows security wizard Firewall configuration Isaac Perez 09-03-2008

Hi,
I used windows security wizard to configure a 2003 server, and even
enabling ftp ports on the wizard the firewall don't shows it as opened.
They are there, but unticked.

I also would like to enable the access to the firewall, so I don't need
to run the configuration wizard every time I need to modify a port
condiguration. But couldn't find where in the GPO the access is disabled
to any firewall configuration.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Isaac

I do not know what is up with your FTP port config in the firewall.
You would probably need to read the xml file if you saved it when
in the security config wizard to see if it really did pay attention to
your specification.
The firewall mgmt interface is not hidden normally.
Are you saying that if, for example, you go into the network interface
and right-click into the properties of one of your network interfaces
you do not have an Advanced tab or on that tab the Windows Firewall
is missing or its Settings button is disabled??

The policy is applied, at least partially, because after applying the
xml created with the wizard, the ftp ports appears in the firewall
exceptions, but they are disabled.

The firewall appears in the control panel, but it's all greyed out. I
don't have the possibility to change anything, but I see all the details.
