Guest Saral6978 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 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!
Guest Dave Patrick Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Re: Reserving a Port in Windows 2003 server Enter in 0053-0053 Make the string is REG_MULTI_SZ data type. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest Dusko Savatovic Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 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 :-) "Dave Patrick" <DSPatrick@nospam.gmail.com> wrote in message news:uzaYdegGJHA.3884@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Enter in 0053-0053 Make the string is REG_MULTI_SZ data type. > > > -- > > Regards, > > Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup. > Microsoft Certified Professional > Microsoft MVP [Windows] > http://www.microsoft.com/protect > > > "Saral6978" wrote: >>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.
