A good old Active Directory Replication Across Firewalls whitepaper
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/technologies/a
ctivedirectory/deploy/confeat/adrepfir.mspx) is a good start for the
information. Refer to the "Limited RPC" section for a reasonable port list
achieved with a minimal registry tweak. As an absolute minimum you can
disable NetBIOS (requires Windows 2000 and up or Samba 3 clients) and not
use SSL protocols or WINS, which results in the following list of protocols:

* RPC endpoint mapper - 135/tcp
* RPC static port for AD replication - <fixed-port-of your-choice>/tcp
* SMB over IP (Microsoft-DS) - 445/tcp
* LDAP - 389/tcp, 389/udp (the latter for LDAP ping)
* Global catalog LDAP - 3268/tcp
* Kerberos - 88/udp
* DNS 53/tcp, 53/udp

Plus, you need to be able to ping the DC from the workstation. Leaving ping
open is generally not a bad idea anyway.
