Reserving a Port in Windows 2003 server

[Guest Saral6978]

I need to reserve the UDP port, 53, for one of my DCs due to a recent DNS

update to see if this will resolve the issue I have with DNS not starting and

hanging my server on reboot. I have the instructions on how to do this from

here:

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812873/

(Original problem describing update here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956188)

 

 

It says I must enter the port # in the format of xxxx-yyyy. If the port is

only 2 digits, do I just enter in 53-53 (just need to reserve a single port)

or do I enter 0053-0053? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just want

to make sure.

 

Thank you!

Enter in 0053-0053 Make the string is REG_MULTI_SZ data type.

Re: Reserving a Port in Windows 2003 server

 

I would disagree with Dave.

With this logic, since the port range is 0 to 65535, you would need to type

00053-00053. I would use 53-53, but then again it might be irrelevant.

 

Sorry if this is dumb answer :-)
