When installing and configuring our new systems, I created a reg file to already configure a lot instead of doing everything via the control panel. I have two files, one for Windows 7 and one for non-Windows 7 OS's.

I assume you're talking about windows firewall. You mentioned you are using other OS's. For XP, take a look at this page.
How to Use Regedit to Turn the Windows Firewall Off
In win7, apart from the standard profile and domain profile, theres also a public profile so I'm not sure how this would work there.
One approach could be to make a batch file with the netsh command line to disable the firewall, then convert the batch to a reg file.

Convert .reg files to .bat files
Dwarf's tutorial would give you the equivalences between the reg and the bat files.
A batch is good too. Thanks alot. I'll have a look. For XP there isn't a problem. That reg hack I already found.
I'll keep you posted.

Using the following command it worked (make sure UAC is disabled):
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state off
Thanks everyone for helping me out here.
We're not using Windows servers, but Linux servers with Samba.
