Is there an option in AD group policy to disable the firewall that comes with
SP2.
I am currently using Win 2000 server, or is there an installation command to
prevent firewall from activating after installing SP2?

Hi

Yes, you can disable the WinXP SP2 firewall with Group Policy.

Take a look at WF_XPSP2.doc "Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2", it is downloadable from
