Change the Remote Desktop Listener Port

For my future reference, to change the port that Remote Desktop listens to, follow the instructions listed here.

To change the default port for all new connections created on the Terminal Server:

  • Run Regedit and go to this key:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp

  • Find the "PortNumber" subkey and notice the value of 00000D3D, hex for (3389). Modify the port number in Hex and save the new value.

    Now to figure out how to connect to an alternate port via the Remote Desktops MMC interface instead of that horrid little Remote Desktop Client that ships with XP.

    Did you ever figure this one out? I have been stumped by this for some time! Would be nice to be able to use the one tool and see all the RDP connections in one window.

    I know, this looks like a little ad here, but take a look on my Royal TS. That should do it:
