I have many computers in Mom adminstrator console listed as umanaged. When I attempt to install the client with windows firewall on at the desktop, I get failure message, "RPC server is unavailable". When I turn the xp client firewall off, I get success. Have been looking for solution for days now and find nothing. Any assistance would be appreciated.
 
It sounds like you need to open the ports on the firewall to allow agent/management server communication.

For MOM:

MOM agents can communicate with the MOM Management Server if the MOM agent computer is behind a firewall. However, you must open TCP port 1270 and UDP port 1270. Additionally, you must manually install and update MOM agents that are behind a firewall.


For SCOM: Open port 5723
