Where is the Windows GUI equivalent for this WMI firewall setting?

Can anyone please help me here? I've been looking for months a place in
Windows XP GUI itself where I can change this setting without using the
following script which opens the Windows firewall for WMI access.

Set objFirewall = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FwMgr")
Set objPolicy = objFirewall.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile
Set objAdminSettings = objPolicy.RemoteAdminSettings
objAdminSettings.Enabled = TRUE

Any ideas?

Thank you!
 
Group policy editor;

Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Windows
Firewall\Standard Profile

Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Windows Firewall\Domain
Profile

"Allow remote administration exception"

Thanks for replying Mr. Patrick! That's if you're running in a domain
configuration, correct? I couldn't find it on my local XP machine which is
just part of a workgroup. I looked all over in Administrator Tools
including Local Security Policy, Component Services and Computer Management,
but I still couldn't find it.

And I looked in the exceptions for the Windows Firewall, but nothing was
immediately apparent.

* "Standard Profile" = non-domain (aka workgroup)
"Domain Profile" = domain environment

* Correct. Look in the group policy editor. gpedit.msc

* Yes, not there either.

Thank you. I did find it after running gpedit.msc. It's just this console
doesn't seem to be accessible any other way in Windows XP by default.
 
You're welcome.
