III-25 Do you need to tighten security on your Exchange Server? It is possible to force Exchange to assign specific TCP/IP ports to RPCs that access the directory or information store. By default, Exchange assigns ports randomly. To use a packet filter and force Exchange to use a specific port, change this registry entry.
Hive: | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |
Key: | System\CurrentControlSet\ServicesMSExchangeDS\ Parameters |
Add the following values under the parameters key:
Value Name: | TCP/IP Port |
Data Type: | REG_DWORD |
Value: | < your port number > |
This change forces Exchange to use whatever port number you assign for access to the Directory Store.
III-26 | Hive: | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE |
Key: | System\CurrentControlSet\ServicesMSExchangeIS\ Parameters | |
Add the following values under the parameters key:
Value Name: | TCP/IP Port |
Data Type: | REG_DWORD |
Value: | < your port number > |
This change forces Exchange to use whatever port number you assign for access to the Information Store. Restart Exchange for either of these changes to take effect.
