From the Symantec site:
Q: Which Symantec products will the product update apply to? A: The product update applies to customers who use Symantec Client Security, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, and Symantec AntiVirus
Enterprise Edition if
their client systems are not members of a Windows domain. This is because Windows XP Service Pack 2 does not enable the Windows Security Center or
the
Windows Firewall if it detects that the computer is a member of a Windows
domain. It also
applies to administrators who choose to enable the Windows Security
Client in a
domain. Product updates for other Symantec products may be released in the future but none are scheduled at this time.
As stated in the answer if a windows XP client is joining a Domain SP2 won't enable neither the Security Center and Firewall. Does somebody have
any mor
information about this?

---------------------------------------------- Symantec appreciates you pointing this mistype on the web FAQ out to us, the Windows Firewall should not have been included as a part of this answer. The correction has been made to the posted page and should read as follows: Q: Which Symantec products will the product update apply to? A: The product update applies to customers who use Symantec Client Security, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, and Symantec AntiVirus Enterprise Edition if their client systems are not members of a Windows domain. This is because Windows XP Service Pack 2 does not enable the Windows Security Center if it detects that the computer is a member of a Windows domain.
