What and where:
To add firewall exceptions to the workstations running windows XP with domain Group Policy have to enable the following GP:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Windows Firewall\Domain profile\Define program exceptionsThe above setting allows only exceptions listed in the group policy's allowed list.
If you want the domain workstations to keep the local windows firewall exceptions also, besides the ones that being applied from domain, then enable the following setting:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Windows Firewall\Domain profile\Allow local program exceptions.
It will apply both, the the domain exceptions list and the local defined ones.
Keep in mind that with "Allow local program exceptions" local/domain admins can add/change new local exceptions. But they will not be able to do anything with domain defined firewall exceptions lists. It will be grayed out for them.
