I can't get the "firewall with advanced security" to work on Windows 7 machines through group policy.
The existing policy has settings for the Windows XP firewall which are working OK.
I followed the Microsoft TechNet guidance on the additional settings required for Win7 ( but where it says, in step 4, "note that the Firewall State setting is On (Recommended)" our clients stay resolutely at "Off".
I have checked that the GP modifications have replicated to all the DNS servers, tried GP updates, logging off and on and rebooting. All to no avail.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Thanks, SteveB.
