[Mir96TA]

How I can disable Group policy in my computer
It is not in a Domain
I have XP SP2 Pro
Thanks

Need to clarify the situation. Are you saying you were on a domain and got a GPO that you now need to remove the policy on your workstation?


If your workstation is not on a domain then your not receiving group policies. Your machine does however have a default security policy that may have been altered if you were on a domain and put it back on a workgroup. Start, run, secpol.msc to see what's going on.

AFAIK Group Policy is only applicable to domain machines, how do you know a GPO is affecting you? Depending on what's wrong you might be able to use the "Local Security Policy" MMC snapin-thing to change the setting you don't like.

When I turn on Windows Firewall
It says it is disable by Group Policys

My first guess would be some sort of virus then, it's probably disabled the firewall to make sure it can communicate with the Internet.

Run rsop.msc and see if any policies are actually being applied.

If not, you'll need to dig deeper to find the root of the problem.

How I can tell ?

Here is aPic

Are you logged in as an admin or are you using a limited account? Looks like limited users group policy warnings.

Did you even run the command?

 

[chairbornrangerx]

or run gpedit.msc ... you can change how it sees the firewall there.

Admin account

where to look into it
I run it
I just dont know under what tree I can find out?

 

[stash]

Computer configuration\administrative templates\network\network connections\windows firewall

Check both the domain and standalone policies.

Note that if you are looking in rsop.msc and there are not any policies (either local or domain) that are being applied to your machine for the firewall, you won't see the tree I noted above. rsop will only show you settings that are being applied, which is why it is easier than digging through gpedit.msc, which shows all settings.

 

[Mir96TA]

what this Pic tell us ?

 

[stash]

Uh, nothing. Thanks for following my directions.

But as long as you are already there in gpedit, go into the domain and standalone folders and see if any of the settings are enabled.
