Hello,
Port 3527 is reserved by Backup Exec. If this port is in use by another application, install will complete but the Backup Exec Server Service will not start and Backup Exec will not load.
Finding the application that is using port 3527 and reassigning that application to another port is preferred; however, you can change the port used by Backup Exec if necessary .
To change the port Backup Exec uses:
1. Using RegEdit or RegEdt32, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VERITAS\Backup Exec\.
2. Right click Server, select New and then select DWORD Value.
3. Name the key MQPortID, and enter the value of the new port that Backup Exec should use for communications.
Note: All MMS and CASO servers should be configured to use the same port that is assigned for MQPortID.
4. Restart Backup Exec's services
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
Note: SBS 2000 and SBS 2003 install the SBS firewall service on port 3527 by default.
