Windows Firewall?????

I am running Server 2008 and each time I shut down for maintenance the "firewall" is turned OFF. Domain profile, public profile. Any reason for this and can I stop it from turning off?[tfl - 13 08 12] Hi - and thanks for your post. Community content is not the appropriate place for technical support queries.
