Changing Windows Remote Desktop listening port

Author andy18    Category Windows-related     Tags

By default, Windows Remote Desktop(RDP) is listening on the port 3389. You may change the listening port by modifying the registry key as follow:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber

Change the PortNumber to something else you wish to apply. Make sure the port you are changing is not being used by other services on the server.

To connect to the RDP from your local RDP client application, enter “ServerName:Port” or “IP:Port”
