I have a 2008 R2 SP1 server that has a GPO applied to it with the following setting:
Computer config/Admin templates/Network/Network Connections/Windows Firewall/Domain Profile/Windows firewall: Allow inbound file and printer sharing exception - Enabled
I can access the shares on this server from a member of the domain, but can't ping the server. Reading the explanation of that setting though, enabling it should allow me to ping the server as well. I have verified the server is using the domain profile.
Any ideas?
