Domain/Standard profile firewall question

[Tricky_Dicky]

Hi,

 

I've just been checking through the security on our network and internally the client machine firewalls are turned off via a GPO. This is how it was setup when the city approved contractor installed the system years ago but just seems a bit wierd to me.

 

Now, having had a look there are two different profiles available. "Standard Profile" and "Domain Profile" and I was just wondering if anyone knew what the difference was?

 

Cheers
