Vista - IPSec Default Policies

12-26-2007

Does Windows Vista come with default IPSec policies like Windows XP and 2000?
I can't seem to find them. By default policies, I mean the pre-configured
policies named "Client (Respond Only)", etc.

I implemented the Analogx IPsec policies on Win 2k Pro, XP Pro and Vista
Ultimate for Client side. I have also used the Server side policies too.
That's if you're looking at IPsec to act in a firewall like manner to
supplement Vista's FW.

Thank you for your reply, Mr. Arnold, but I am still wondering if Windows
Vista comes with the pre-configured IPSec policies like Windows XP and 2000
does. When I open up the IP Security Policies snap-in in mmc, I can't seem
to find them, so does that mean they do not exist, or am I just not looking
in the right place?

Thanks

Google is your friend. However, I find the Analogx rules are more easy to
implement, and all you have to do is check them on as off as needed or even
edit them to make modifications. You can even make your own Analogx covers
everything you would be concerned about on the client side.

I am sure you can do on Vista too.
