SP2 Firewall Policy

[Patrick]

Hello

I have the following Problem:
I want to publish Firewall Settings with GPOs to several
Clients.
I add the new system.adm File (from XP SP2) to the GPO
Object on my windows 2000 Server, so I got all the new
GPOs.
I see under: "Computer Configuration/Administrative
Templates/Network/Network Connections/Windows Firewall" all
the new policies but two are missing:
"define program exceptions" and "define port exceptions"
These two policies are in my opinion the most importent!

So anyone knows why these policies are missing? On my XP
Workstation with SP2 installed i got these policies!!

Thanks for your help

Update:

I try it on a W3k Server and all the settings are there. So
I think the problem is, that the W2k Server can't display
all new policy settings...
Anyone knows how to correct this, I have to manage the
settings on a W2k Server not on a Client!!!

Regards
Patrick

You must have to change this GPO ONLY from Windows XP and Windows Server
2003.
I have publish this, but in french here:

It because of the "too long string" in Windows 2000 GPO.
