Deploying ICF in Managed Environments with XPSP2

With XP SP2 beta now on MSDN, I guess its time to point out that there is an article released by Microsoft on deploying Internet Connection Firewall Settings for Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2.

This article describes how to deploy the appropriate configuration settings for ICF on an organization network so that it is enabled and providing protection and so that communications are not impaired.

If you are looking to deploying the ICF in your organization now is a good time to start looking into how to do it with the enhancements of XPSP2.

Think of it as an early Christmas present from Microsoft to you.
