Attempting to edit "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" within a GPO produces the error "The network path was not found"
Description
Attempting to open/edit "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" within "Windows Settings->Security-Settings->Windows Firewall" in a GPO causes the error "The network path was not found"
Cause
A firewall between the GPOADmin client and the Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
Resolution
Even if GPOADmin is configured to point to a preferred domain controller, the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" snap-in will try to connect to the Primary Domain Controller (PDC). If errors occur opening the snap in, ensure there is no firewall between the client machine and the Primary Domain Controller.
