How do I
change the Terminal Server (or RDP)
listening port?
By
default, Terminal Server (For Windows
2000 and Windows Server 2003) and Remote
Desktop Protocol (for Windows XP and
Windows Server 2003) listens on TCP port
3389.
To
change the default port for all new
connections created on the Terminal
Server:
-
Run Regedit and go to this key:
-
Find the "PortNumber" subkey and
notice the value of 00000D3D, hex
for (3389). Modify the port number
in Hex and save the new value.
You can now connect to
the new port by using
the "old"
Windows 2000 Terminal Server client. A
better option is to use the XP RDP 5.1
client (Download RDP 5.1). Even better,
use the newer Windows Server 2003 RDP
5.2 client (Download RDP 5.2).
You'll
need to configure your TS client to
connect to the new port. Although
changing the connection port on the RDP
clients is quite easy, you CAN also
change the connection port for the TS
client. See Related Articles list for
more info. |
