Re: Mixed Messages about SP2

If you look under this tree in the Group Policy settings:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network
Connections\Internet Connection Firewall\Domain Profile

You will see an entry called "Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions"

The rule to open up the port for Symantec Antivirus is:
2967:UDP:*:enabled:Symantec Antivirus

This opens port 2967 (UDP) on the local firewall and names the exception
Symantec Antivirus.  We have tested this and it works just fine.  Hope this
helps.
