WinXP SP2 - Disable firewall

[yronnen]

Hi.

I've added SP2 installation to my unattended installation.

How can I make sure that the firewall is disabled after installation?

Thanks.

Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Check OFF

im guessing he/she wants 2 do it unattended

[Ropera]

me too, but I think that the question aims at finding out if the unattended intallation was successful in disabling the firewall.

Easiest way to find out: check if it is OFF

Do yourself a favour and use nlite and get rid of it altogether , along with the security centre

What I have so far and unsure if it work's 100%

;Firewall OFF
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000

I haven't tested neither of the solutions provided in this thread, but I have one question about disabling the firewall.

How can you not just turn off Firewall & Virus Protection Unattended, but set this to NOT MONITORED in Security Center (of course unattended) ???

currently im downloading sp2

there is an article on mS technet site about, did have a copy once, but removed from pc by accident.

I'll try and remember url as it was very informative about all sorts of ways it can be modified to include site, be switched off on default etc so may be worth on the official site for it rather than guess and hope for a while.

Sorry not that accurate buut know it exists

The winnt.sif entry in the Unattended Guide does work. However, the IEPopup does not. At least in my case.
