Active Directory and Active Directory Domain Services Port Requirements

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772723(WS.10).aspx


Active Directory and Active Directory Domain Services Port Requirements
Updated: June 18, 2009
Applies To: Windows Server 2000,Windows Server 2003,Windows Server 2003 R2,Windows Server 2003 with SP1,Windows Server 2003 with SP2,Windows Server 2008,Windows Server 2008 Foundation,Windows Server 2008 R2,Windows Vista
This guide contains port requirements for various Active Directory® and Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) components.
Default dynamic port range
In a mixed-mode domain that consists of Windows Server® 2003–based domain controllers, Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server–based domain controllers, or early-version client computers, the default dynamic port range is 1025 through 5000. Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista®, in compliance with Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) recommendations, increased the dynamic client port range for outgoing connections. The new default start port is 49152, and the new default end port is 65535. Therefore, you must increase the remote procedure call (RPC) port range in your firewalls. If you have a mixed domain environment that includes a Windows Server 2008 server, allow traffic through ports 1025 through 5000 and 49152 through 65535.
When you see “TCP Dynamic” in the Port columns in the following tables, it refers to ports 1025 through 5000, the default port range for Windows Server 2003 and earlier versions of the client operating system, and ports 49152 through 65535 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista.
Note
For more information about the change in the dynamic port range in Windows Server 2008, see article 929851 [ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=153117 ] in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=153117).
You can find additional information about this change on the Ask the Directory Services Team blog. See the blog entry Dynamic Client Ports in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista [ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=153113 ] (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=153113).
Restricting RPC to a specific port
RPC traffic is used over a dynamic port range as described in the previous section, “Default dynamic port range.” To restrict RPC traffic to a specific port, see article 224196 [ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=133489 ] in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=133489).
Operating systems
In the tables in this document, the port requirements are for Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 unless otherwise noted in the section heading or table.
Replication
The following table lists the port assignments for Active Directory and AD DS replication.

TCP 636
LDAP SSL
TCP 3268
GC
TCP and UDP 88
Kerberos
TCP and UDP 53
DNS
TCP and UDP 445
SMB over IP
TCP 25
SMTP
TCP 135, Dynamic
RPC, ECM
Note
Replication of SYSVOL requires File Replication Service (FRS) or Distributed File System (DFS) Replication over a dynamic RPC port. If you want to configure FRS or DFS Replication to use a particular port, see article 832017 [ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=22498 ] in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=22498).
Trusts
The following tables list the port requirements for establishing trusts in the following environments:
Microsoft Windows NT®
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Windows NT
The following table lists the port assignments for establishing a trust with a Windows NT 4.0 domain. In this environment, one side of the trust is a Windows NT 4.0 trust or the trust was created by using the NetBIOS names.

Client port

NetBIOS Name Resolution
UDP 138
UDP 138
NetBIOS Datagram Service

Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003
For a mixed-mode domain that uses either Windows NT domain controllers or early-version client computers, trust relationships between Windows 2000 Server–based domain controllers and Windows Server 2003–based domain controllers may necessitate that all the ports for Windows NT that are listed in the previous table be opened, in addition to the ports in the following table.
Note
The two domain controllers are both in the same forest, or the two domain controllers are both in a separate forest apart from one another. Also, the trusts in the forest are Windows Server 2003 trusts or Windows Server 2008 trusts.

To define RPC server ports that the LSA RPC services use, see article 832017 [ http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=22498 ] in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=22498).
Windows Server 2008
In a mixed domain environment, you have to open the ports in the following table as well as the ports in the Windows NT, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003 tables in the “Trusts” section of this document.
Note
See the previous section “Default dynamic port range” for a description of the new dynamic port range that Windows Server 2008 uses.

  1. Very interesting blog. Alot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that I'm interested in, but I'm most definately interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
