On my test domain I'm testing a GPO that enables XP SP2 firewall.
I've enabled and opened ports to allow IT to manage remote computers on our network; however, I can't seem to get Disk Management to work as it used to before enabling the firewall.
I'm aware that I need to open TCP port 445, which I've done via a GPO. I've also added an exclusion for c:\windows\system32\dmremote.exe and I'm still unable to get Disk Management to run.
An output for: netsh firewall show config, shows:
Port configuration for Domain profile:
Port Protocol Mode Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------
139 TCP Enable NetBIOS Session Service
445 TCP Enable SMB over TCP
137 UDP Enable NetBIOS Name Service
138 UDP Enable NetBIOS Datagram Service
3389 TCP Enable Remote Desktop
and ..
Allowed programs configuration for Domain profile:
Mode Name / Program
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Enable Message Queuing / C:\WINDOWS\system32\mqsvc.exe
Enable Remote Assistance / %windir%\system32\sessmgr.exe
Enable Logical Disk Manager component / C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmremote.exe
Enable MSN Messenger 6.2 / C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe
So, I'm sure that my GPO is being applied to my computers just fine, but I keep getting this error:
The Disk Management console failed to connect to the remote computer because the Disk Management remoting service is not in the Windows Firewall exception list....
Am I missing something?
