Wanting to find out what port UNC goes through when trying to access computers on our domain, example start:RUN- \\computer_name\c$ ...

I am sure you understand, I have tried to allow ports 445 and 139 in the exceptions list and go though but it doesn't work.

We are wanting to push sp2 out but needing to get around this first.

Disabling Firewall we do not want as an option, we already know how to do that in active directory.

Nice to know but all of the ports you mentioned are in the exception list all except 135 TCP. But didn't work.

Windows firewall (sp2 version) has the abilty to allow all communication from an entire subnet or you could specify a scope of address'. There is also an exceptions tab that allows File and Print sharing, Remote Assistance, Remote Desktop, UPnp Framework and Windows Messenger.
I think enabling some of the exceptions combined with scope configuration you should be able to resolve this.

FYI, The exceptions tab won't allow a scope of IP addresses. It has to be a list. I tried.
