XP SP2 Firewall Domain Level Controll of Exceptions

[Benson]

Hi,

I'm trying to creata a GPO to define the exceptions list for my XP SP2
machines. The problem i'm having is when i try to make the modifications to
the GPO on my DC it doesn't list the Difne Exceptions Settings. i can turn
the firewall on and off etc... but not define any exceptions. This is under
computer configuration - administrative templates - network - network
connections - windows firewall - domain profile. I'm trying to make these
changes on a windows 2000 server with the update patch for the mmc console.

Any suggestions would be grately appreciated.

You're not the first to hit this and we haven't quite nailed the cause.
This is on win2k+sp4+kb842933?
Did you apply kb842933 before or after you attempted to edit any gpo with
xpsp2?
thanks
