Change RDP listening port to SSL



You switch the job and realized you cannot RDP back to your home Lab Exchange 2007 server. Or the security team at your work decided has no mercy to IT department. Either way, why in the world the security folks would stop us playing with Exchange 2007, (-: who knows, here is quick way around. Go to server you wish to RDP too.

  • click start
  • run
  • regedit, enter
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • System
  • CurrentControlSet
  • Control
  • TerminalServer
  • WinStations
  • RDP-Tcp
  • PortNumber
  • switch to Decimal
  • add the SSL port 443
  • exit the reg edit
  • open RDP and include the port number as below ( my exchange server IP is 10.10.10.7)
  • Change this to your exchange or server IP and leave the :443 in tacked
  • 10.10.10.7:443

You may have to reboot the server, and now you can RDP back to your Lab exchange server
