Windows 2008 Remote port 3389 Modify a small note

Modify the remote port to make the server more secure, win2008 is roughly the same as the configuration of win2003, some subtle differences, in this small note.

Brief steps:

1. Open the remote connection function (it is already open by default)

: Start > Computers > Properties > Remote Settings > Remote > Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop ( Select this if you want to connect from a lower version like 2003 )

2. Modify the registry remote port, the following two places the value 3389 is modified to the new port

: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\wds\rdpwd\tds\tcp],
When the Portnamber value is switched to decimal, its default value is 3389, which is changed to a new port

: [Hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\tenninal Server\winstations\rdp-tcp]

When the Portnamber value is switched to decimal, its default value is 3389, which is changed to a new port

3. Add firewall Exception: Control Panel > System and Security >windows Firewall > Advanced Settings > Inbound Rules Right-click > New Rule > Port > (TCP, specific local port) > Allow connection > followed by default option to finish. (Remember to change the port to add an exception or a shutdown over, not connected)

After the operation is done carefully compare the configuration of win2008 and win2003 the same, the small difference is:

1. Remote Desktop has one more security level

2. Firewall in 2003 is a separate exception for each network connection, win2008 is a preset three scenarios, you can set up a firewall for three scenarios. The network connection can quickly switch the field with one click, which is convenient for home computers. However, because the server will not be like the home computer will get to the airport, coffee shop and so on, so this feature on the server seemingly useless, the server will be the exception of all the configuration for three scenarios are effective.
