Change Port Number

[DJ]

Can I change the Terminal Services port from 3389?

We are Using Remote desktop from XPpro to Small biz Svr
2000.

We need to use a differnt port, how do I change on the
two systems?

Hi Hi,

Try it!!

To change the default port for all new connections created
on the Terminal Server:
Run Regedt32 and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Termina
l Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp

NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been
wrapped for readability.


Find the "PortNumber" subkey and notice the value of
00000D3D, hex for (3389). Modify the port number in Hex
and save the new value.

To change the port for a specific connection on the
Terminal Server:
Run Regedt32 and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Termina
l Server\WinStations\connection

NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been
wrapped for readability.
Find the "PortNumber" subkey and notice the value of
00000D3D, hex for (3389). Modify the port number in Hex
and save the new value.

NOTE: Because the use of alternate ports has not been
fully implemented for Terminal Server 4.0, support will be
provided as "reasonable effort" only, and Microsoft may
require you to set the port back to 3389, if any problems
occur.

Append the new port number to the public IP address...

Example:

12.34.56.78:NewListeningPortNumber

12.34.56.78:3390
