It was around Christmas time with the usual number of people MIA when the DC park police called to report the clients couldn't connect. Long story short somebody way up in the DoI had pushed out a group policy that locked up every port except one they used for remote monitoring. We could add an exception to the firewall that would last about 5 minutes before the group policy slammed it shut again. It took a day to find someone in the DC center that could comprehend the problem and even longer to chase it up the DoI chain to find where the group policy originated from.
