I'm about to define the domain wide group policy settings for the windows
firewall on our Windows XP SP2 clients.

Now I want to define this at the domain level so that it will affect all
XP SP2 computers when they join the domain .. without having to be moved to a
specific OU.

I'm worried that these settings will affect the firewall on my Windows 2003
SP1 Servers ..
how do I ensure my servers are not affected and or how do I define the GP
is for Win XP clients only ..
 
You could either change the default container that computer accounts are
created in when a computer joins the domain as described in the link below
or configure the GPO to have deny apply permissions for a global group that
contains your Windows 2003 domain servers. If you use "filtering" make sure
that you do not configure the firewall settings on the default domain Group
Policy. --- Steve
