TCP ports

Hi, I know the TCP ports used by EV are as follows..

 

port 80/443, 135, 1825.

 

But during 'Store in Vault' and 'Restore from Vault' operations, there are another 2 ports which are used. And it seems that these 2 ports changes everytime the EV server is restarted. This caused a problem on the ports restriction on our firewall to control remote access via SSLVPN and also Cisco VPN.

 

Can I know how to set these 2 ports to be permanent, and not change when the EV server is restarted?

 

Thank you.

    I guess the way to fix the 2 ports is very similar to how we can fix the ports on Exchange 2003.

    Hi

     

    EV is using DCOM to do this and I believe there are registry keys you can use to control the ports used.

    Not sure if the EV docs cover this but I seem to remember Microsoft docs on the subject.

    Hi, thanks. Does anyone know where are the registry key(s)? I can't find it any where and it is not stated on the admin guide.

    There are a wide-range of ports that are used in a network environment, but some are server <-> server (EV - Exchange - SQL) and others are client based.

     

    The Admin guide has a list of th TCP ports EV typically uses -- have you had a chance to check that?

     

    We have a paper on EV in Secure Networks, I'll see if we can quickly get it up to our Blog for all to review.

     

    FYI, I use a Cisco VPN from my home in Sydney to our EV server in Reading UK just fine :)

    Thank you. can I have the URL of the Blog which you have mentioned?

     

    Don't you restrict TCP ports on the firewall?

     

    I still need to know and fix the ports on our firewall.

    Hi, i run into the same problem. If a VPN client tries to restore a mail from the fault radomly ports are used. So this is not a professional solution for a firewall protected network.

     

    Is there a way to get these ports fixed ?

     

    Please let me know.

     

    Cheers
