I do, but that is being lazy. Doing it the "MS best practice" way is to leave it on and only open the ports needed, thus the lazy remark. I'm willing to bet that most Admins just turn it off.

and then there are admins that install some weird client security products, which then disables controll capabilities altogether.

Maybe like this:
  • via GPO, set the minimum you need to administrate a computer (protocols, ports, networks, etc...)
  • do not enable or restrict the use of firewall via GPO, just add the minimum of policies needed
  • during installation or imaging of computers, set the firewall on
  • a common user cannot switch his firewall on or off, so the firewall will stay on
  • during installation of software, the ports, protocols, programs, networks etc. needed can be added to the local firewall policy

the thing is, you need a separate full blooded policy for out-of-office.
otherwise the administration holes will be open in the wild too.
right?

In a lot of the rules, the allowed network(s) can be defined. Only in the case the computer is used in (a) network(s) with the same adress(es), certain ports are open.
It is in any way better than doing nothing.

ja, that will work in most of the cases.
that is, in such setup that the networks outside are different.
