I'm going to hazard a guess, and assume that the GPO that's blocking port 445 does more than just that. If that's the case, then remove the setting in that GPO that blocks port 445 and make a new GPO that only blocks port 445, and limit its scope to the machines that need it. OTOH, if the GPO that blocks port 445 does only that, then limit its scope to the relevant machines.
