XP SP2 opening ports

[Nick]

Hi

I want to start rolling out XP SP2 on our LAN using software update
services, however is there a way i can preconfigure the install of SP2 so
that when it is installed certain ports are opened up automatically, i dont
want to go round every machine opening up ports.

Many Thanks

Nick

Are you upgrading existing XP installations to SP2? If so whatever the
current configurations etc are set to; should not be changed with SP2 pgrade.

If you are going from 98 or Me to SP2 then try lloking into:

Hi

Note that the document in the link above does not explain what to
actually do to be able to use Netfw.inf to adjust the FW settings
as part of the SP2 installation (a.k.a. "before installation").

For instructions on how to do it, take a look at this thread:
