You will need SMB and RPC open permanently for pretty much all the site system roles. Microsoft expects all of the systems in a given site to be in the same network and not have systems firewalled.

Once the DP is installed which ports needs to remain open? We also did another test by deploying another DP >From Server A --> Site server running windows 2008 R2 Denied on TCP 135 and TCP 445 >From Site Server --> Server A Denied on random RPC port 49154 As for secondary site which ports are actually needed for the installation and that remain to be open after? I know I will need to get port 1433 and 4022 open from site server (secondary site) to Server B Thanks for the clarification NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended exclusively for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
