    MMC for Windows XP firewall?

    Is there an MMC snap-in to connect to the windows XP's firewall remotely? Right now I connect remotely to the remote PCs command console and and find out what I need through command line netsh firewall.

    This can be done with Vista and I was wondering if it was possible in XP somehow and I missed it.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think that you can at least if you have SP2/3.

    Microsoft's comments here:

    Thanks nihil.

    That link appears to describe the exceptions needed in your windows firewall to allow remote management of certain MMC tools. The question isn't about being unable to use certain MMC tools do to an improperly configured firewall.

    The question is, is there an MMC to remotely administer the windowsXP firewall as you can with Vista\2008.
