I'd be interested in this as well, especially related to whether the personal firewall delivered with MS will block this scan. We're deciding whether or not to build an automated DMZ system, but if the latest versions of windows are delivered with the firewall on, it seems that will limit the useful life of this type of scan process.
Yes, the Windows firewall (ICF) will block these types of scans. But that is a good thing. We are implementing a NetReg-based solution, and would be ecstatic if all of the dorm computers would pass the scan because they have their firewall on. I would call that "mission accomplished".
