Question : HELP! "Firewall has detected an application listening for incoming traffic." Event ID# 861  lsass.exe

I just got in some new Dell Optiplexes preinstalled with Win XP Pro SP2.  They are identical.  I have joined the computers to the domain.  The only software they have installed is ISA Firewall client, Symantec AV, Lotus Notes, Adobe Reader, Windows XP, Office 2003.  All of those programs work fine.  Computers correctly locate the proxy server, update their definitions, talk to the server, launch lotus notes, etc.  But on all of them I keep getting this error en-masse.  It appears over and over again, filling up the logs.   I know its not a trojan or virus, these are brand new machines.  I'd like to keep the XP firewall turned on, if possible.  Any help is truly appreciated.

Answer : HELP! "Firewall has detected an application listening for incoming traffic." Event ID# 861  lsass.exe

Use a netsh script on each machine:

netsh firewall add allowedprogram LSASS \ C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe

This will allow lsass.exe outbound, and will get rid of these messages.
Maybe put this in a login script to make things easier?
