The message is "Security centre can't turn on windows firewall.<A
HREF="ErrorActionWindowsFirewallCo...
on windows firewall manually</A>

Any ideas?????
 
Nope....upgraded to 5744 and it has added two different screens but still at
the end tries to start the service but fails...
 
Try bypassing the security center by going to control panel: System and
Maintenance: Administrative Tools: Services:

verify the following services are running (If not start in this order):
(All of these should be set to automatic startup)

RPC
DCOM Service Process Launcher
Windows Firewall
 
Ok, so turning them on in order after trying to turn on windows firewall
service now gives me error code 13???
 
Running RTM build. I had RC1 previously and firewall was on. After upgrading
to RTM firewall is off and can't be turned on, citing Group Policy.

I followed the advice below re: the Services Control Panel, the other two
are started, but Firewall isn't even listed on either tab.

Someone asked me is OneCare installed. No. I had it under XP but had to
uninstall it with Vista beta 2.

Why has Windows turned off my firewall and why can't I turn it back on?
 
Followup in case this helps anybody. First of all Windows Firewall was
present in services after all (under W) and showed as already started, but I
kept getting the security warning it was not on. It turned out that I had to
use the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security in MMC to turn on the
firewall. Running Ultimate, build 6000. Worked like a charm after that but
still cannot use Firewall control panel to control it, must use the advanced
MMC version with "Group Policy," nuts cuz I'm not on a domain. Thanks a lot.

HELP!
 
You could try this:

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following
command:

winmgmt /verifyrepository

If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", run this command:

winmgmt /salvagerepository

The first time you run this it will fail. It will issue stop commands to
the services causing it to fail. It might take a couple minutes for the
services to shut down. Run the command again. You actually may have to run
it 3 times before it finally runs and completes on its own.

Reboot your system.
 
Well, you could try the sledgehammer approach:

Right-click Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Type the following
commands, pressing Enter after each one:

net stop winmgmt
cd %windir%\system32\wbem
ren repository repository.old
net start winmgmt

This will rebuild the Repository.

Make sure the following Services are set to automatic, in Computer
Management:

Base Filtering Engine
Windows Firewall
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
DCOM Server Process Launcher

In Windows Update, make sure KB935807 is installed.

other firewall will turn of this service.

This thread is SO OLD that Google Groups doesn't even have a record of

Perhaps it's time for MS to ban this clueless forum from slurping the MS
newsgroup feeds ?

Replies to OLD ... no ANCIENT threads with no references are a huge
waste of bandwidth, IMHO.

The whine about wasted bandwidth worked when 2400 baud modems were the
norm, but it looks kinda foolish these days.

I give up. You're so *right*, Bill. Let's encourage more posts from
techarena that include no references and are at least 3 years old.
That will improve these rapidly decaying NGs !!!
