Question

Force the RDS server to use the custom rdp port

Hi,

recently I changed the RDP port in my RDS SERVERS environment and everything is fine, but when I create a new collection with a specific program to publish the default RDP PRT it is 3389, the new port is not applied.

please how I can resolve this.

Hi,

You may try with the command (admin privilege):
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection –CustomRdpProperty "server port:i:xxxxx"

Or manually check the registry key related:
local machine\software\microsoft\windows n t\currentversion\terminal server\centralpublishedresources\publishedfarms\QuickSessionCollection\Deploymentsetting

But if there is external network and rd gateway involved, please also check the method stated of "Change Remote Desktop Gateway Port" in third link below.

Hi,

thanks for your reply, my problem is that when I create a new collection, the custom RDP port is not applied, in Regedit for the new collection I found that RDP is 3389 and not the custom port.

Do you think that every new collection created needs to be edited manually?

thank you.

Hi,
I am not sure where did you change the RDP port and whether the change is before or after you create the RD collection.

But from the registry key I shared above, it proved the each collection will have its own property includes RDP port information, thus it is worthy to manually check and update if the port change did not apply.

Hi,

For the old group, I changed the RDP port after creating the RD collection:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms\Collectioname\DeploymentSettings
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms\ Collectioname \RemoteDesktops\ Collectioname \ RDPFileContents

and

HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp "PortNumber"

but after this change when I create a new RD collection the RDP port is set to 3389 by default, the custom port is not applied.

thanks

Hi,
The first two lines of regsitry are settings related the specific Collections with dedicated Collection name you created.

The third line of regsitry are the Port number of the remote server itself but has nothing to do with RD collection.

Thus if you create a new collection with new name, you shall navigate to its own regsitry and update settings.

Best Regards,
Jenny
