Can OneCare be controlled by Group Policy in a domain environment?

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?

OneCare can't be administered via Group Policy. In fact, I'd be interested if
you encounter any other issues being in a Domain environment.

Thanks Stephen. So far nothing else I'm aware of. Do you know if there are
any plans to extend OneCare for the small domain environment? Forefront
looks like too complex a package to be worth installing for 5-10
workstations.

OneCare for Server will be part of the next version of SBS, but I know nothing
more about that and how that would translate to a domain joined environment.
