UPnP isn't enabled by default in Windows Server 2003.

Are you using the Firewall client?

[zeta]

The UPnP service can be stopped and disabled through the services manager (but agenta says it's not even enabled by default, so this should be a moot point).

[semaja2.net]

yes we are using firewall clients on the domain pcs

[Aaron P]

Test by disabling the Firewall client on a machine and see if the BitTorrent client can still upload. Why do you need to use the Firewall client? Do you have an application that requires it?

[semaja2.net]

I was lead to belive that the firewall client protected the pcs and it also made it so no logins to the net are required

[Aaron P]

No, the Firewall client is only used to support applications and protocols that do not support proxies. For example you could use the Firewall client to allow a group of users to use Remote Desktop (RDP) outbound.

Unless you specifically require it, I don't see a need for it.
