SCE 2010 Alerts when windows firewall is turned off

Is it possible in SCE 2010 to have a email alert when someone manually turns off their firewall and does not turn it back on again? And if so how can that be accomplished? Originally I was going to just enforce this from Group Policy but this doesn't allow
people to enable or disable their firewalls. It just enables the firewall and grays out all other options.
This is a Domain with two 2008 R2 servers. The reason people need to be able to turn off their firewalls is for testing purposes.
Thank you so much.
Knowledge is Power.

When the firewall is turned off, it will generate an event log. You could create a monitor Alert Generating NT-Event-Log-Based Rule to monitor this event log.

Why does my Windows Firewall keep turning off briefly?

I have just run a recovery on my dad's Pavilion Media Center TV m7470n Desktop, which restored XP Media Edition 2005 SP2. I then installed SP3 and used Windows Update to get more recent updates. The system is now working fine, but every so often I get a popup notification that says the Windows Firewall is off. The popup balloon quickly, and when I go into the Security Center the Windows Firewall shows up as on. I ran a full scan with Microsoft Security Essentials and I also tried Trend Micro's HouseCall and RootkitBuster. None of the scans showed any threats, but I'm still uncomfortable with the myesterious balloon popping up several times a day. Does anyone have any insight?
This question was solved.

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum!
1. When you go to Control Panel -> Windows Firewall
do you see the firewall in ON condition (despite the security center warnings) ?
2. Click on Start -> Run -> type services.msc and hit OK. In the list that will open, navigate to Windows Firewall and see if the service is set to Automatic and if it is started
3. Let's flush the Security Center's memory :-)
Click on Start -> Run -> type services.msc and hit OK.
In the list that will open, navigate to Windows Management Instrumentation, right-click on it, and choose Stop.
Open My Computer/Windows Explorer and goto c:\Windows\system32\WBEM
There you will see a folder called Repository.
Right click it and rename it to rep_old
Again, go to services.msc and now start the Windows Management Instrument service.
After that, please, restart your computer.
Note, that after the restart the computer will rebuild the Repository folder and the first start after that might be slower than usual. Additionally, some services might be delayed.
Additional precautions I would take:
- Please, scan your computer for the presence of malware using HitmanPro (free):
Information -> http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/
Download -> http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/ (32-bit version is yours)
Windows XP is getting out of support very soon - in less than 3 months Microsoft will stop supporting it anymore. It goes into history. It is highly recommended that you upgrade to newer operating system in order to use the latest technology, enjoy better security, faster and better programs, support, etc.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help
If you plan on continue using Windows XP for longer (after Microsoft stops supporting it), I would choose another antivirus and firewall solution for the computer such as third party firewall like ZoneAlarm , and/or third party antivirus software like Norton Antivirus, McAfee Internet security, Kaspersky, ESET, etc. or all-in-one suit.

I have a laptop with Windows 7, and when the machine is turned off it loses all the user names

I have a Gateway Laptop with Windows 7, 64 bit. When the machine is turned off, and then
back on it loses all it's user names that have been remembered.

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Cookies
*do not clear the Site Preferences
*do not clear the Saved Passwords
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception.

Firewall keeps turning off

Hello to the very smart and talented programmers and microsoft engineers,
Power user here with Windows 10 TP x64 on my Asus x401a laptop. Everything is working pretty well, just noticing that my firewall keps going offline quite often resulting on the action center alerting me to turn it on.
It appears the firewall stays on for public connections but is off for private connections. I am currently connected to my home router which is set as a private network. The firewall also turned off during times where I was connected to a public
network. When this happened, I did not receive an action center alert because the current firewall settings (public on, private off) did not affect the current network (which was public)
Just thought I'd put that out there. I can always run a script that can check the status and turn it on if it is off so no biggy, but what can I do to log the 'private firewall turn off' event? I don't know what event ID to look for.
Thanks and so far Win 9 ;) I mean, 10 TP is lovely! I LOVE the new hybrid start menu/taskbar and 4 window snap. 4 win snap is kind of a let down on screens with resolutions lower than 1080p, the preview pane becomes a bit of a visual real estate hog
but that's an easy fix. Otherwise, bravo.
Where may I find a list of enhancements to 10 TP over 8?? thanks again!

Gigaleonza,
I agree with what
Ed (DareDevil57) said above. In addition though to anti-virus software causing the issue, this could also be caused by any security suite of software that you may find with products such as AVG, Symantec or Kaspersky that have their own firewall programs.
It could be that one of these is trying to compete with the Windows firewall. Try disabling any such software and see if that makes any difference.
Hope this helps!

After installing itunes windows services get turned off

I have a fresh install of Vista Ultimate Sp2 that has been running wiithout any probolems. I have waited a couple of weeks before installing iTunes. Now after 2 days the computer will not boot to windows. I boot too safe mode and I get a message that System Event Notification Service is turned off. In safe mode the services can't be accessed. So I do a system restore to the time I installed iTunes and all services are turned on and windows boots properly. I waited one week the downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it. After a couple of days the computer will not boot except into safe mode. So I do a system restore and windows botts up ok. I then wait another week and I go thtough the same routine. I haven't installed anyother software yet, I want to get past this windows services getting turned off issue. I am not using selective startup so all services should start when the computer is turned on. Does anyone know what the issue may be?

A complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software components is worth a try (7s can indicate trouble with other software components like Apple Application Support). See the following documents for instructions:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
... But if no joy there, let's check to see if there's a .NET issue underlying this:

Tired of Spam/Idiotic Alerts That Can't Be Turned Off

I subscribe to MyFico and am tired of idiotic alerts that can't be turned off. One of the most basic rules about alerts is that you alert people about "events", not "non-events", otherwise people start ignoring the alerts and when they are important don't read them. As an example, if I have an alarm system I don't want to be alerted that "your alarm system didn't go off today", that would be idiotic, I want to be alerted when it does go off! Likewise, I don't want to receive 3 alerts every week telling me my "credit report was all clear this week", I want to receive alerts if something showed up on my credit report! I am going to guess the user experience genius who was involved in creating this thought sending people endless ridiculous alerts would make it seem like we are getting more for our money, but it's just the opposite. But the worst thing is your alert setttings don't give the user any way to turn these idiotic alerts off. Rant off!

Although I'm not sure what the big deal is here, perhaps your email account can filter those out for you? If I chose to ignore those alerts, I'm sure I could easy filter them in my GMail account.

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Retina Flashing green light on charger when fully charged (macbook turned off or lid closed)

Hi there,
Just got a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014. I have noticed that when the Macbook is turned off or the lid is closed the green light on the charger is blinking. It seems it does this when the Macbook Pro is fully charged and I am not sure if it is a fault with the charger or if it just does this when its fully charged? When the laptop is open and plugged in it doesn't do this.

HT3529 I cannot send a text message to one specific friend when they have iMessage turned off. It should go through as a text message instead of an iMessage but they never receive it. It only happens with this one person and I can receive, but not send.

Please help! I can't send a text message to one specific friend of mine when he has iMessage turned off. I can receive his texts, but he never receives mine. Both are iPhones, obviously, different carriers which shouldn't matter. Neither of us got new phones. MMS is on. All if a sudden it just happened. No major changes other than him turning iMessage off, due to a nosy brother who shares his iPad. What am I missing??

I do have SMS on. What else could it possibly be?

I can not sign into FaceTime and my firewall is turned off, help. I'm a Clear internet user, if that matters or helps.

I'm having trouble signing into facetime. Keeps saying to check my network, but the internet is fine and my firewall is turned off. I'm a Clear internet user and I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.

there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working.

You will need to do that by syncing them with a computer and then syncing the computer with the iPad.

Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch?

Does iPhone record when sound is manually turned off via the external side switch? Enquiring minds want to know.

Are you asking if the phone logs when someone mutes it? No, I don't believe so. Or, are you asking if audio recording apps still record when the phone is muted? Why don't you use the included VoiceMemo app and test it?
Best of luck.

I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
