Windows Server Builtin Firewall

[Shanthi]

I am running my domain controller on Win2003 server platform. By default the
windows firewall was on. I turned off, hence the users are not able to login
to the domain.

I just want to turn on the firewall and give an exception for the same.
Please guide us how to do the same.

Turning the firewall off would not have resulted in users becoming
unable to log into the domain.

Sure.

I said, turning firewall off would not result in what you conclude
was result ("hence" no login).

Meaning, you should be looking elsewhere now in order to get
login working again. Later you could address firewall settings
if/as re-enabled.
