Possible to change network ports used by terminal services licensi

[Aidan-Eire]

Hi,

I have a bit of a dilemma. Due to firewalls between terminal server and
licensing server I need to open up ports to allow this traffic. Howerver our
security policy won't allow this as required ports are too unsecure... port
135 445 and 1025-65000,. Can anybody please tell me if there is a way yo
change these ports and ideally tie down all the traffic to one assigned port??



Thanks for any replies!,

Aidan.

I think the TS uses DCOM when talking to it's licensing server.
Unfortunately DCOM communications between two servers cannot (read:
should not) be restricted to one single port. Use a small port range
instead. Additionally you always need port 135 (TCP I think).

The following article from the Microsoft KB explains how to configure
this:

I hope this helps.
