Introduction

This document discusses the network ports and protocols that are used by server products and their subcomponents in the Microsoft Windows Server System.

The Windows Server System includes a comprehensive and integrated infrastructure that is designed to meet the requirements of developers and information technology (IT) professionals. This system is designed to run programs that information workers can use to obtain, analyze, and share information quickly and easily. These Microsoft server products use a variety of network ports and protocols to communicate with client and server systems. While dedicated firewalls, host-based firewalls, and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) filters can be used to help secure your network, if these technologies are configured to block ports and protocols that are used by the Windows Server System, a server may not be able to respond to legitimate client requests. If a server is unable to respond to legitimate client requests, it may not function properly or at all.

Term Usage

The following list provides an overview of the information contained in this document:

  • The "Microsoft Server Product Ports" section of this document contains a brief description of each service, displays the logical name of that service, and indicates the ports and protocols required by each service for correct operation. Use this section to help identify the ports and protocols that a particular service uses.

  • The "Ports and Protocols Table" section of this document includes a table that summarizes the information from the "System Services Ports" section. The table is sorted by port number instead of by the service name. Use this section to quickly determine which services listen on a particular port.

This document uses certain terms in specific ways. To help avoid confusion, make sure that you understand how this document uses these terms. The following list describes these terms:

  • System services: The Windows Server System includes many products, such as the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 family, Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server, and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Each of these products includes many components; system services is one of those components. System services that are required by a computer are either started automatically by the operating system during startup or are started as required during typical operations. For example, some system services that are available on computers running Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, include the Server service, the Print Spooler service, and the World Wide Web Publishing Service. Each system service has a friendly service name and a service name. The friendly service name is the name that appears in graphical management tools, such as the Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. The service name is the name that is used with command-line tools and with many scripting languages. Each system service may provide one or more network services.

  • Application protocol: In the context of this document, an application protocol is a high-level network protocol that uses one or more TCP/IP protocols and ports. Examples of application protocols include HTTP, server message blocks (SMBs), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

  • Protocol: Operating at a lower level than the application protocols, TCP/IP protocols are standard formats for communicating between devices on a network.

    The TCP/IP suite of protocols includes TCP, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).

  • Port: This is the network port that the system service listens on for incoming network traffic.

This document does not specify which services rely on other services for network communication. For example, many services rely on the remote procedure call (RPC) or DCOM features in Microsoft Windows to assign them dynamic TCP ports. The Remote Procedure Call service coordinates requests by other system services that use RPC or DCOM to communicate with client computers. Many other services rely on network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) or SMB, protocols that are actually provided by the Server service. Others rely on HTTP or HTTPS. These protocols are provided by Internet Information Services (IIS). A full discussion of the architecture of the Windows operating systems is beyond the scope of this document. However, detailed documentation on this subject is available on Microsoft TechNet and on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN). While many services may rely on a particular TCP or UDP port, only a single service or process can be actively listening on that port at any one time.

When you use RPC with TCP/IP or with UDP/IP as the transport, inbound ports are frequently dynamically assigned to system services as required; TCP/IP and UDP/IP ports that are higher than port 1024 are used. These are frequently informally referred to as "random RPC ports." In these cases, RPC clients rely on the RPC endpoint mapper to tell them which dynamic ports were assigned to the server. For some RPC-based services, you can configure a port instead of letting RPC assign one dynamically. You can also restrict the range of ports that RPC dynamically assigns to a small range, regardless of the service. For more information, see "Related Topics" later in this document.

This document includes information about the system services roles and the server roles for the Microsoft products that are listed in the "For More Information" section of this document. Although this information may also apply to Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, this document is intended to focus on server-class operating systems. Therefore, this document describes the ports that a service listens on instead of the ports that client programs use to connect to a remote system.

Microsoft Server Product Ports

This section provides a description of each system service, includes the logical name that corresponds to the system service, and displays the ports and the protocols required by each service.

Application Layer Gateway (ALG) Service

This subcomponent of the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)/Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) service provides support for plug-ins that allow network protocols to pass through the firewall and work behind ICS. Application Layer Gateway plug-ins have the power to open ports and change data (such as ports and IP addresses) embedded in packets. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the only network protocol with a plug-in that is released with Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition.

The ALG FTP plug-in is designed to support active FTP sessions through the network address translation (NAT) engine used by these components. The ALG FTP plug-in does this by redirecting all traffic passing through the NAT destined for port 21 to a private listening port in the 3000-5000 range on the loopback adapter. The ALG FTP plug-in then monitors and updates FTP control channel traffic so that the FTP plug-in can plumb port mappings through the NAT for the FTP data channels. The FTP plug-in will also update ports in the FTP control channel stream.

Computer Browser

The Computer Browser system service maintains an up-to-date list of computers on your network and supplies the list to programs that request it. The Computer Browser service is used by Windows-based computers enabled to view network domains and resources. Computers designated as browsers maintain browse lists, which contain all shared resources used on the network. Earlier versions of Windows applications, such as My Network Places, the NET VIEW command, and Microsoft Windows NT Explorer, all require browsing capability. For example, opening My Network Places on a computer running Windows XP displays a list of domains and computers, which is accomplished by the computer obtaining a copy of the browse list from a computer designated as a browser.

Exchange Server

Microsoft Exchange Server includes several system services. When a MAPI client such as Microsoft Outlook connects to an Exchange server, the client first connects to the RPC endpoint mapper (the RPC Locator Service) on TCP port 135. The RPC endpoint mapper tells the client which ports to use to connect to the Exchange Server service, which are dynamically assigned. Exchange Server 5.5 uses two ports, one each for the information store and the directory. Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and Exchange Server 2003 use three ports, one for the information store and two for the system attendant, respectively. Alternatively, Microsoft Outlook 2003 can use RPC over HTTP to connect to servers running Exchange Server 2003. Exchange can also provide support for other protocols, such as SMTP, POP3, and IMAP.

FTP Publishing Service

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Publishing service provides FTP connectivity. The FTP control port is 21 by default, but you can configure this system service through the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager (a snap-in). The default data port (used for active mode FTP) is automatically set to one less than the control port, so if you configure the control port to 4131, the default data port will be 4130. Most FTP clients use passive mode, which means that the client initially connects to the FTP server through the control port; the FTP server assigns a high TCP port between 1025 and 5000; and the client opens a second connection to the FTP server for transferring data. The range of high ports can be configured through the IIS metabase.

ICF/ICS

This system service provides NAT, addressing and name resolution services for all computers on your home or small-office network. When ICS is enabled, your computer becomes an "Internet gateway" on the network, enabling other client computers to share one connection to the Internet; such as a dial-up or broadband connection. This service provides basic DHCP and DNS services, but will work with the full-featured Windows DHCP or DNS services.

When ICF/ICS is acting as a gateway for the rest of the computers on your network, it provides DHCP and DNS services to the private network on the internal network interface. It does not provide these services on the externally-facing interface.

License Logging Service

License Logging Service (LLS) is a tool that was originally designed to help customers manage licenses for Microsoft server products that are licensed in the Server Client Access License (CAL) model. LLS was introduced with Windows NT Server 3.51. By default, LLS is disabled in Windows Server 2003. Because of original design constraints and evolving license terms and conditions, LLS cannot provide an accurate view of the total number of CALs that are purchased as compared to the total number of CALs that are used on a single server or across the enterprise. The CALs that are reported by LLS may conflict with the interpretation of the End User License Agreement (EULA) and with Product Usage Rights (PUR). LLS will not be included in future versions of the Windows operating system. (Only users of Small Business Server should enable this service on their servers.)

Local Security Authority

The Local Security Authority (LSASS) service provides core operating system security mechanisms. It uses random TCP ports assigned through the RPC service for domain controller replication.

Although LSASS can use all of the following protocols, it may only use a subset of them. For example, if you are configuring a VPN gateway that lies behind a filtering router, you might use L2TP with IPSec. If so, then you must allow IPSec ESP (IP protocol 50), NAT-T (TCP on port 4500), and IPSec ISAKMP (TCP on port 500) through the router. Although IPSec ESP is required for L2TP, it is actually monitored by the Routing and Remote Access service.

Net Logon

The Net Logon system service maintains a secure channel between your computer and the domain controller to authenticate users and services. It passes the user's credentials through a secure channel to a domain controller and returns the domain security identifiers and user rights for the user. This is commonly referred to as pass-through authentication. Net Logon starts automatically when the computer is a member of a domain. In the Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2003 Server families, the Net Logon service publishes service resource records in the DNS. Net Logon service is enabled only on computers that belong to a domain. When it is running, it relies on the Server and Local Security Authority services to listen for incoming requests. On domain member computers, it uses RPC over named pipes; on domain controllers, it uses RPC over named pipes, RPC over TCP/IP, mailslots, and LDAP.

Routing and Remote Access

The Routing and Remote Access (RRAS) system service provides multiprotocol LAN-to-LAN, LAN-to-WAN, VPN, and NAT routing services. In addition, the RRAS service also provides dial-up and VPN remote access services.

Although RRAS can use all of the following protocols, typically it will only use a subset of them. For example, if you are configuring a VPN gateway that lies behind a filtering router, you will probably only use one technology. If you use L2TP with IPSec, then you must allow IPSec ESP (IP protocol 50), NAT-T (TCP on port 4500), and IPSec ISAKMP (TCP on port 500) through the router. Although NAT-T and IPSec ISAKMP are required for L2TP, these ports are actually monitored by the Local Security Authority. For more information, see "Related Topics" later in this document.

SNMP Service

The SNMP Service system service allows incoming Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) requests to be serviced by the local computer. The SNMP service includes agents that monitor activity in network devices and report to the network console workstation. SNMP service provides a method of managing network hosts, such as workstation or server computers, routers, bridges, and hubs from a centrally-located computer running network management software. SNMP performs management services by using a distributed architecture of management systems and agents.

SNMP Trap Service

The SNMP Trap Service receives trap messages generated by local or remote SNMP agents and forwards the messages to SNMP management programs running on your computer. The SNMP Trap Service, when configured for an agent, generates trap messages if any specific events occur. These messages are sent to a trap destination. For example, an agent can be configured to initiate an authentication trap if an unrecognized management system sends a request for information. Trap destinations consist of the computer name, or the IP address, or IPX address of the management system. The trap destination must be a network-enabled host that is running SNMP management software.

SSDP Discovery Service

The SSDP Discovery service implements the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) as a Windows service. The SSDP Discovery service manages receipt of device presence announcements, updating its cache and passing these notifications along to clients with outstanding search requests. The SSDP Discovery service also accepts registration of event callbacks from clients, turns these into subscription requests, and monitors for event notifications, passing them along to the registered callbacks. This system service also provides hosted devices with periodic announcements.

Currently, the SSDP event notification service uses TCP port 5000. In Windows XP Service Pack 2, it relies on TCP port 2869.

Terminal Services Session Directory

The Terminal Services Session Directory system service allows clusters of load-balanced Terminal Servers to route a user's connection request to the server where the user already has a session running. Users will be routed to the first-available Terminal Server, regardless of whether they've got a running session elsewhere in the cluster. Load Balancing pools the processing resources of several servers using the TCP/IP networking protocol. You can use this service with a cluster of terminal servers to scale the performance of a single terminal server by distributing sessions across multiple servers. Session Directory keeps track of disconnected sessions on the cluster, and ensures that users are reconnected to those sessions.

Trivial FTP Daemon Service

The Trivial FTP (TFTP) Daemon system service does not require a user name or password and is an integral part of the Remote Installation Services (RIS). The Trivial FTP Daemon service implements support for the TFTP protocol defined by the following RFCs:

  • RFC 350 - TFTP

  • RFC 2347 - Option extension

  • RFC 2348 - Block size option

  • RFC 2349 - Timeout interval, and transfer size options

Trivial File Transfer Protocol is designed to support diskless boot environments. TFTP Daemons listen on UDP port 69, but respond from a randomly allocated high port. Therefore, enabling this port will allow the TFTP service to receive incoming TFTP requests, but will not allow the selected server to respond to those requests. Allowing the selected server to respond to inbound TFTP requests cannot be accomplished unless the TFTP server is configured to respond from port 69.

Windows Internet Name Service

The Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) enables NetBIOS name resolution. The presence of WINS servers is crucial for locating network resources that can be identified using NetBIOS names. WINS servers are required unless all domains have been upgraded to Active Directory, and all computers on the network are running Windows 2000 Server or later. WINS servers communicate with network clients using NetBIOS Name Resolution. WINS Replication is required between WINS servers only.

Windows Media Services

Windows Media Service in Windows Server 2003 replaces the four separate services that comprised Windows Media Services versions 4.0 and 4.1: Windows Media Monitor Service, Windows Media Program Service, Windows Media Station Service, and Windows Media Unicast Service.

The Windows Media Service system service is now a single service that runs on Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, and Datacenter Edition. Its core components were developed using COM, creating a flexible architecture that is easily customized for specific applications. It supports a greater variety of control protocols, including Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol, and HTTP.

Windows Time

For computers running Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the Windows Time system service maintains date and time synchronization on all computers running on a Microsoft Windows network. The service uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize computer clocks so that an accurate clock value, or timestamp, is assigned for network validation and resource access requests.

The implementation of NTP and the integration of time providers make Windows Time a reliable and scalable time service for enterprise administrators. For computers not joined to a domain, you can configure Windows Time to synchronize time with an external time source. If this service is turned off, the time setting for local computers will not be synchronized with any time service in the Windows domain, or an externally configured time service.

Windows Server 2003 uses NTP, which runs on UDP port 123. The Windows 2000 version of this service uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP), which also runs on UDP port 123.

World Wide Web Publishing Service

The World Wide Web Publishing Service provides the infrastructure necessary to register, manage, monitor, and serve Web sites and applications registered with IIS. The system service contains a process manager and a configuration manager. The process manager controls the processes in which custom applications and Web sites reside. The configuration manager reads the stored system configuration for the W3SVC, and ensures that HTTP.sys is configured to route HTTP requests to the appropriate application pools or operating system processes. The ports used by this service can be configured through IIS Manager.

If the administrative Web site is enabled, a virtual Web site will be created that uses HTTP traffic on TCP port 8098.
