After initial boot of the server (factory install) the server was joined to
the 2003 AD domain. Prior to rebooting I noticed that I was unable to make
any configuration changes to the Firewall i.e. add exceptions.
Upon rebooting the firewall service was not running and when I tried to
restart it, received a message saying that one of it's dependant services
(BFE) was not started.

Starting the BFE resulted in an error 5: Access is denied. This occurred in
both local and domain admin accounts.

Moving the server to a seperate OU that denies all GPOs resulted in the same
issues as did a gpupdate/reboot.

Setting BFE to run as the domain admin resulted in error 1297.

No domain policies are set to enforce.

Can anyone assist as this seems to be a common issue but the fixes above did
not resolve it?

Thanks

Paul
