Group policy to allow ICMP echo requets..

[blakey2]

Hi All,

Is there a Group policy (Admin template or registry setting) that can be used to set ICMP echo requests in 'Windows Firewall' to on?

I had a brief look at the current admin templates from microsoft and could only see one to either enable or disable the security centre..

Cheers.

The setting that you are looking for is seven cells down in the table called Windows Firewall: Allow ICMP exceptions

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Network Connections\Windows Firewall
