Posted September 17, 200717 yr our domain controller is running Windows 2003 server R2 enterprise edition (x64). I've installed service pack 2 for it. I tried to harden the server using Security Configuration Wizard. However, all the exceptions defined in Windows Firewall are gone after running SCW. Although I specified server roles such as DNS server, domain controller in SCW, new machines trying to join the domain failed to communicate with the domain controller. So I had to again define those exceptions in Windows Firewall manually. So my questions are: Does SCW always flush out all the exception settings in Windows Firewall? Why did running SCW not help opening ports in my case? thx Yifei
