Guest Michael Haskell Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Running a Vista 32 bit Business Edition machine with SP1. Machine is brand new so I doubt at virus is the cause of the issue. OneCare is not installed on the PC. When I go into the Control Panel -> Windows Firewall (which shows that the firewall is on) click on Change Settings and the following error message appear "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings." There are not group policy in affect on the domain, currently have 12 other Vista machines that are not having the problem. I've multiple time rebooted, uninstalled McAfee. Still I'm unable to get into the firewall. Quote

Guest Michael Haskell Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 I discovered something else after posting this message. If I attempt to access the Firewall when the network connection is Domain profile I get there error. If I'm not connected to the domain or the profile is private or public I do not get there error and can open firewall in the control panel. We use the McAfee Epo product which contains an agent. If the firewall is on during the install it can not add an exceptions to the firewall to allow the agent to communicate. The GP for the workstations contains Domain GP settings to allow the agent to communicate with the EPo server. But we aren't seeing that the Vista machine is see the exception we've added. Doing a gpresults show that the standard workstation policy is being applied but the firewall settings are not visable in the control panel. Think this maybe more for a GP issue.
