Vista Forums - View Single Post - Can OneCare be controlled by Group Policy in a domain environment?

04-14-2008

I have a client who just changed from a workgroup environment to a domain.
They wanted to keep OneCare since they are used to it and like the
simplicity.

I was trying to offer remote assistance to an XP SP2 client computer on
their domain today, and realized that the standard Group Policy settings to
permit offering Remote Assistance affect the Windows firewall, which is
turned off by OneCare. Can the OneCare firewall settings be controlled by
Group Policy, or is it necessary to adjust each machine individually?
