I am looking for any document on “How to” configure Windows firewall on
Windows server 2003 based on server role (i.e. which ports should I need to
open on a DC or on a Wsus server ect…)



Can you help me?

Thank for more.

Have you tried going to Start | Help and Support and typing
Windows firewall
into the Search box?

Best (and proper way) to configure Windows Firewall on Domain Controller
would be to use Security Configuration Wizard (Comes with Windows Server
2003 SP1).

Mike gave a great solution but FYI you can also read the Windows 2003 Server
Security Guide which gives specific info on ipsec filters for server roles.
That information could be used as a guide for firewall configuration. The
Security Configuration Wizard will enable ipsec filters that have the
advantage of being able to manage outbound traffic also that the Windows
Firewall can not. --- Steve

Good Day Kersob,

Try M$ main Security & Compliance Solutions Guidance Web Page at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/sectip/st0805.mspx

There are a few tips under "Windows Server 2003 Security Guide", linked from
the main page above.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windowsserver2003/w2003hg/sgch00.mspx

Under " Client Security - Windows XP Security Guide" there is a section on
Firewall config, some of which I've imp'd on my 2003 boxes, with great
success, linked from the main page above.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/prodtech/windowsxp/secwinxp/default.mspx

As mentioned by the other posts, using the H&S (Help & Support) feature with
the keyword of Firewall or something along that lines, will take/link you to
great Web resources (not just an .xml or chm type file on the local machine).

The second link, Windows Server 2003 Security Guide, has a listing/chapters
on the different Roles & Sec settings. Most probibly this is the one most
useful 2 U.
