Firewall Service Cannot Start When Not Connected to Domain
We have a Vista Ultimate installation with all service packs installed.
Both the local security policy and the domain policy after joining a domain have the reserved accounts NETWORK SERVICE and LOCAL SERVICE configured to start as a service. If we disconnect the notebook from the domain and restart it, the Windows Firewall service refuses to start. All attempts to manage the firewall fail because the service reports it has not started. If you manually attempt to start the firewall service it fails. As soon as we put the notebook back on the domain network and reboot it works. Does anyone have any insight on why this happens and how we can get the firewall to start? Any sequence that effectively prevents the firewall from starting strikes me as a pretty serious misfeature. The notebook is often used to configure devices by cross connecting straight to the device, so we cannot count on being on the domain network, but clearly we want a working firewall at all times. -- W |

Firewall Service Cannot Start When Not Connected to Domain
Hi
When it is Off the domain what are you trying to connect to? Who ever controls the Domain Polices has to configure the computer to function in a none domain environment when needed.

Firewall Service Cannot Start When Not Connected to Domain
Hi
No it is not a feature. Just being of the Domain just not mean that the computer is automatically re-configured itself for regular Peer-to-Peer network. Who ever configures the domain has to take a look to make sure that the right open configuration is available. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). "W" wrote in message ...

Who ever configures the domain has to take a look to make sure that the right open configuration is available. I think we may be talking different points. Distinguish two cases: Case A: Disconnect from the domain and start the computer. After firewall starts, it has a different configuration than the one in the domain. Case B: Disconnect from the domain and start the computer. Firewall refuses to start at all. Attempts to manually start the firewall *service* fail. There is no issue about the firewall's configuration because the firewall cannot even be started. I am describing Case B. This isn't an issue of how we configured the firewall rules in or out of the domain. This is a Windows service startup issue. The firewall service cannot even be started. -- W "W" wrote in message ... "Jack [MVP-Networking]" wrote in message ... Hi When it is Off the domain what are you trying to connect to?
