This article discusses the essential network ports, protocols and services that are used by Microsoft client and server operating systems, server-based programs and their subcomponents in the Microsoft Windows server system. Administrators and support professionals may use this Microsoft Knowledge Base article as a road-map to determine what ports and protocols Microsoft operating systems and programs require for network connectivity in a segmented network.
The Windows server system includes a comprehensive and integrated infrastructure that is designed to meet the requirements of developers and of information technology (IT) professionals. This system is designed to run programs and solutions that information workers can use to obtain, to analyze, and to share information quickly and easily. These Microsoft client, server and server program products use a variety of network ports and protocols to communicate with client systems and with other server systems over the network. Dedicated firewalls, host-based firewalls, and Internet Protocol security (IPsec) filters are other important components that are required to help secure your network. However, if these technologies are configured to block ports and protocols that are used by a specific server, that server will no longer respond to client requests.
Important The port information in this article should not be used to configure Windows Firewall. For information about configuring Windows Firewall, see the Windows Firewall Settings Technical Reference.

Overview
The following list provides an overview of the information that this article contains:
| • | The "System Services Ports" section of this article contains a brief description of each service, displays the logical name of that service, and indicates the ports and protocols that each service requires for correct operation. Use this section to help identify the ports and protocols that a particular service uses. |
| • | The "Ports and Protocols" section of this article includes a table that summarizes the information from the "System Services Ports" section. The table is sorted by port number instead of by the service name. Use this section to quickly determine which services listen on a particular port. |
This article uses certain terms in specific ways. To help avoid confusion, make sure that you understand how this document uses these terms. The following list describes these terms:
| • | System services: The Windows server system includes many products, such as the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server family, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Each of these products include many components; system services is one of those components. System services that are required by a particular computer are either started automatically by the operating system during startup or are started as required during typical operations. For example, some system services that are available on computers that are running Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, include the Server service, the Print Spooler service, and the World Wide Web Publishing Service. Each system service has a friendly service name and a service name. The friendly service name is the name that appears in graphical management tools such as the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. The service name is the name that is used with command-line tools and with many scripting languages. Each system service may provide one or more network services. |
| • | Application protocol: In the context of this article, an application protocol is a high-level network protocol that uses one or more TCP/IP protocols and ports. Examples of application protocols include Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), server message blocks (SMBs), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). |
| • | Protocol: Operating at a lower level than the application protocols, TCP/IP protocols are standard formats for communicating between devices on a network. The TCP/IP suite of protocols includes TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). |
| • | Port: This is the network port that the system service listens on for incoming network traffic. |
This article does not specify which services rely on other services for network communication. For example, many services rely on the remote procedure call (RPC) or DCOM features in Microsoft Windows to assign them dynamic TCP ports. The Remote Procedure Call service coordinates requests by other system services that use RPC or DCOM to communicate with client computers. Many other services rely on network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) or SMBs, protocols that are actually provided by the Server service. Others rely on HTTP or on Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). These protocols are provided by Internet Information Services (IIS). A full discussion of the architecture of the Windows operating systems is beyond the scope of this article. However, detailed documentation on this subject is available on Microsoft TechNet and on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). While many services may rely on a particular TCP or UDP port, only a single service or process can be actively listening on that port at any one time.
When you use RPC with TCP/IP or with UDP/IP as the transport, inbound ports are frequently dynamically assigned to system services as required; TCP/IP and UDP/IP ports that are higher than port 1024 are used. These are frequently informally referred to as "random RPC ports." In these cases, RPC clients rely on the RPC endpoint mapper to tell them which dynamic port(s) were assigned to the server. For some RPC-based services, you can configure a specific port instead of letting RPC assign one dynamically. You can also restrict the range of ports that RPC dynamically assigns to a small range, regardless of the service. For more information about this topic, see the "
References" section of this article.
This article includes information about the system services roles and the server roles for the Microsoft products that are listed in the "
Applies to" section at the end of this article. While this information may also apply to Microsoft Windows XP and to Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, this article is intended to focus on server-class operating systems. Because of this, this article describes the ports that a service listens on instead of the ports that client programs use to connect to a remote system.

System Services Ports
This section provides a description of each system service, includes the logical name that corresponds to the system service, and displays the ports and the protocols that each service requires.
Active Directory (Local Security Authority)
Active Directory runs under the LSASS process and includes the authentication and replication engines for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 domain controllers. Domain controllers, client computers and application servers require network connectivity to Active Directory over specific hard-coded ports in addition to a range of ephmeral TCP ports between 1024 and 65536 unless a tunneling protocol is used to encapsulate such traffic, An encapsulated solution might consist of a VPN gateway located behind a filtering router using Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) together with IPsec. In this encapsulated scenario, you must allow IPsec Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) (IP protocol 50), IPsec Network Address Translator Traversal NAT-T (UDP port 4500), and IPsec Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) (UDP port 500) through the router as opposed to opening all the ports and protocols listed below. Finally, the port used for Active Directory replication may be hard-coded as described in 224196: Restricting Active Directory replication traffic to a specific port.
Note: Packet filters for L2TP traffic are not required, because L2TP is protected by IPsec ESP.

Application Layer Gateway Service
This subcomponent of the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)/Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) service provides support for plug-ins that allow network protocols to pass through the firewall and work behind Internet Connection Sharing. Application Layer Gateway (ALG) plug-ins can open ports and change data (such as ports and IP addresses) that are embedded in packets. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the only network protocol with a plug-in that is included with Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition. The ALG FTP plug–in is designed to support active FTP sessions through the network address translation (NAT) engine that these components use. The ALG FTP plug–in supports these sessions by redirecting all traffic that passes through the NAT and that is destined for port 21 to a private listening port in the range of 3000 to 5000 on the loopback adapter. The ALG FTP plug–in then monitors and updates FTP control channel traffic so that the FTP plug-in can forward port mappings through the NAT for the FTP data channels. The FTP plug–in also updates ports in the FTP control channel stream.
System service name:
ALG
| Application protocol | Protocol | Ports |
| FTP control | TCP | 21 |
ASP.NET State Service
ASP.NET State Service provides support for ASP.NET out-of-process session states. ASP.NET State Service stores session data out-of-process. The service uses sockets to communicate with ASP.NET that is running on a Web server.
System service name:

| RPC | TCP | 135 |
| Randomly allocated high TCP ports | TCP | random port number between 1024 - 65534 |
Cluster Service
The Cluster service controls server cluster operations and manages the cluster database. A cluster is a collection of independent computers that act as a single computer. Managers, programmers, and users see the cluster as a single system. The software distributes data among the nodes of the cluster. If a node fails, other nodes provide the services and data that was formerly provided by the missing node. When a node is added or repaired, the cluster software migrates some data to that node.
System service name:
ClusSvc
| Application protocol | Protocol | Ports |
| Cluster Services | UDP | 3343 |
| RPC | TCP | 135 |
| Randomly allocated high TCP ports | TCP | random port number between 1024 - 65534 |
Computer Browser
The Computer Browser system service maintains an up-to-date list of computers on your network and supplies the list to programs that request it. The Computer Browser service is used by Windows-based computers to view network domains and resources. Computers that are designated as browsers maintain browse lists that contain all shared resources that are used on the network. Earlier versions of Windows programs, such as My Network Places, the
net view command, and Windows Explorer, all require browsing capability. For example, when you open My Network Places on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 95, a list of domains and computers appears. To display this list, the computer obtains a copy of the browse list from a computer that is designated as a browser.
System service name:

Microsoft Exchange Server and Outlook clients
Versions of Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange clients have various port and protocol requirements. These requirements depend upon which version of Exchange Server or Exchange client is in use.
For Outlook clients to connect to versions of Exchange prior to Exchange 2003, direct RPC connectivity to the Exchange server is required. RPC connections made from Outlook to the Exchange server will first contact the RPC endpoint mapper (Port TCP 135) to request information on the port mappings of the various endpoints required. The Outlook client then tries to make connections to the Exchange server directly by using these endpoint ports.
Exchange 5.5 uses two ports for client communication. One port is for the Information Store, and one port is for the Directory. Exchange 2000 and 2003 use three ports for client communication. One port is for the Information Store, one is for Directory Referral (RFR), and one port is for DSProxy/NSPI.
In most cases, these two or three ports will be mapped randomly into the range TCP 1024-65534. If required, these ports can be configured to always bind to a static port mapping rather than to use the ephemeral ports.
For additional information about how to configure static TCP/IP Ports in Exchange Server, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

148732 Setting TCP/IP port numbers for Internet firewalls
Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003
270836 Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003 static port mappings
Outlook 2003 clients support direct connectivity to Exchange servers by using RPC. However, these clients can also communicate with Exchange 2003 servers that are hosted on Windows Server 2003-based computers on the Internet. The use of RPC over HTTP communication between Outlook and Exchange server eliminates the need to expose unauthenticated RPC traffic across the Internet. Instead, traffic between the Outlook 2003 client and the Exchange Server 2003 computer is tunneled within HTTPS packets over TCP port 443 (HTTPS).
RPC over HTTP requires that port TCP 443 (HTTPS) be available between the Outlook 2003 client and the server that is functioning as the "RPCProxy" device. The HTTPS packets are terminated at the RPCProxy server and the unwrapped RPC packets are then passed to the Exchange server on three ports, in similar fashion to the direct RPC traffic described above. These RPC over HTTP ports on the Exchange server are statically mapped to TCP 6001 (the Information Store), TCP 6002 (Directory Referral), and TCP 6004 (DSProxy/NSPI). No endpoint mapper must be exposed when using RPC over HTTP communication between Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003, since Outlook 2003 knows to use these statically mapped endpoint ports. In addition, no global catalog needs to be exposed to the Outlook 2003 client because the DSProxy/NSPI interface on the Exchange 2003 server will provide this functionality.

| File Server for Macintosh | TCP | 548 |
FTP Publishing Service
FTP Publishing Service provides FTP connectivity. By default, the FTP control port is 21. However, you can configure this system service through the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager snap-in. The default data (that is used for active mode FTP) port is automatically set to one port less than the control port. Therefore, if you configure the control port to port 4131, the default data port is port 4130. Most FTP clients use passive mode FTP. This means that the client initially connects to the FTP server by using the control port, the FTP server assigns a high TCP port between ports 1025 and 5000, and then the client opens a second connection to the FTP server for transferring data. You can configure the range of high ports by using the IIS metabase.
System service name:
MSFTPSVC
| Application protocol | Protocol | Ports |
| FTP control | TCP | 21 |
| FTP default data | TCP | 20 |
| Randomly allocated high TCP ports | TCP | random port number between 1024 - 65534 |
HTTP SSL
The HTTP SSL system service enables IIS to perform SSL functions. SSL is an open standard for establishing an encrypted communications channel to help prevent the interception of critical information, such as credit card numbers. Although this service is designed to work on other Internet services, it is primarily used to enable encrypted electronic financial transactions on the World Wide Web (WWW). You can configure the ports for this service through the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager snap-in.
System service name:
HTTPFilter

Internet Connection Firewall (ICF)/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
This system service provides NAT, addressing, and name resolution services for all computers on your home network or your small-office network. When the Internet Connection Sharing feature is enabled, your computer becomes an "Internet gateway" on the network, and other client computers can then share one connection to the Internet, such as a dial-up connection or a broadband connection. This service provides basic DHCP and DNS services but will work with the full-featured Windows DHCP or DNS services. When ICF and Internet Connection Sharing act as a gateway for the rest of the computers on your network, they provide DHCP and DNS services to the private network on the internal network interface. They do not provide these services on the external-facing interface.

License Logging
The License Logging system service is a tool that was originally designed to help customers manage licenses for Microsoft server products that are licensed in the Server Client Access License (CAL) model. License Logging was introduced with Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51. By default, the License Logging service is disabled in Windows Server 2003. Because of legacy design constraints and evolving license terms and conditions, License Logging may not provide an accurate view of the total number of CALs that are purchased compared to the total number of CALs that are used on a particular server or across the enterprise. The CALs that are reported by License Logging may conflict with the interpretation of the End-User License Agreement (EULA) and with Product Use Rights (PUR). License Logging will not be included in future versions of the Windows operating system. Microsoft recommends that only users of the Microsoft Small Business Server family of operating systems enable this service on their servers.

Net Logon
The Net Logon system service maintains a security channel between your computer and the domain controller to authenticate users and services. It passes the user's credentials to a domain controller and returns the domain security identifiers and user rights for the user. This is typically referred to as pass-through authentication. Net Logon is configured to start automatically only when a member computer or domain controller is joined to a domain. In the Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 families, Net Logon publishes service resource locator records in the DNS. When this service runs, it relies on the Server service and on the Local Security Authority service to listen for incoming requests. On domain member computers, Net Logon uses RPC over named pipes. On domain controllers, it uses RPC over named pipes, RPC over TCP/IP, mailslots, and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

Routing and Remote Access
The Routing and Remote Access service provides multiprotocol LAN-to-LAN, LAN-to-WAN, VPN, and NAT routing services. Additionally, the Routing and Remote Access service also provides dial-up and VPN remote access services. Although Routing and Remote Access can use all the following protocols, the service typically uses only a subset of them. For example, if you configure a VPN gateway that lies behind a filtering router, you will probably use only one technology. If you use L2TP with IPsec, you must allow IPsec ESP (IP protocol 50), NAT-T (TCP on port 4500), and IPsec ISAKMP (TCP on port 500) through the router.
Note Although NAT-T and IPsec ISAKMP are required for L2TP, these ports are actually monitored by the Local Security Authority. For additional information about this, see the "
References" section of this article.

Trivial FTP Daemon
The Trivial FTP Daemon system service does not require a user name or a password and is an integral part of the Remote Installation Services (RIS). The Trivial FTP Daemon service implements support for the Trivial FTP Protocol (TFTP) that is defined by the following RFCs:
RFC 1350 - TFTP
RFC 2347 - Option extension
RFC 2348 - Block size option
RFC 2349 - Timeout interval, and transfer size options
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a file transfer protocol that is designed to support diskless boot environments. The TFTP service listens on UDP port 69 but responds from a randomly allocated high port. Therefore, enabling this port will let the TFTP service receive incoming TFTP requests, but will not let the selected server respond to those requests. The service is free to respond to any such request from any source port it wishes, and the remote client will then use that port for the duration of the transfer. Communication is bidirectional. If you need to enable this protocol through a firewall, it may be useful to open UDP port 69 inbound. You can then rely on other firewall features, which dynamically allow the service to respond through temporary holes on any other port.
System service name:
tftpd
| Application protocol | Protocol | Ports |
| TFTP | UDP | 69 |
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
The Universal Plug and Play Host discovery system service implements all the components that are required for device registration, control, and the response to events for hosted devices.

Windows Time
The Windows Time system service maintains date and time synchronization on all Windows XP and Windows Server 2003-based computers on a network. This service uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize computer clocks so that an accurate clock value, or timestamp is assigned for network validation and for resource access requests. The implementation of NTP and the integration of time providers help make Windows Time a reliable and scalable time service for your enterprise. For computers that are not joined to a domain, you can configure Windows Time to synchronize time with an external time source. If this service is turned off, the time setting for local computers is not synchronized with a time service in the Windows domain or with an externally configured time service. Windows Server 2003 uses NTP. NTP runs on UDP port 123. The Windows 2000 version of this service uses Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). SNTP also runs on UDP port 123.

Such services and operations require network connectivity over specific port and networking protocols.
A summarized list of services, ports and protocols required for member computers and domain controllers to inter-operate with each other or for application servers to access Active Directory include but are not limited to the following:
| 1. | Active Directory / LSA |
| 2. | Certificate Services (required for specific configurations) |
| 3. | Computer Browser |
| 4. | DHCP Server (if so configured) |
| 5. | Distributed File System |
| 6. | Distributed Link Tracking Server (optional but on by default on Windows 2000 computers) |
