The easiest thing I've come up with for updating firewall settings on 
systems quickly after SP2 is the following reg file...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List]
"5900:TCP"="5900:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC"
"5800:TCP"="5800:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC Java"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List]
"5900:TCP"="5900:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC"
"5800:TCP"="5800:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC Java"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\GloballyOpenPorts\List]
"5900:TCP"="5900:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC"
"5800:TCP"="5800:TCP:*:Enabled:VNC Java"

Just copy the above to a text file and rename it something like 
"VNC.REG" and then opposite mouse click it and select "Merge" and that 
should do it.
