CPU, other Remote Registry tests: what port is used?
CPU, other Remote Registry tests: what port is used?
Hello, my network admin wants to know what port is used by the CPU Test and other tests that require the Remote Registry service on Windows XP/2000/2003, and if the test can communicate through a NAT.
Actually we do not specify these ports. RPC is part of the Windows, Windows (TM) is product of Microsoft. So, Microsoft manages ports used by RPC.do you specify the port somewhere or just let it go find one above 1023 automatically?
Sorry, it will not work. Windows assigns ports dynamically.For example, if we have port 6000 open then will it just use that one?
Why do you think we have developed agent?

Apologies for the miswording of the question; let me try again.
Can a HostMonitor/system administrator specify a port for the RPC call the CPU test makes so that a fixed port is always used and can be assigned in the firewall? Could we achieve this by opening a single RPC-eligible port in our server firewall that the CPU test would always see as RPC-eligible and therefore use? Or, will Windows always give us a different port every time the call is made?

"dynamically" means Windows uses different ports.Sorry, it will not work. Windows assigns ports dynamically.
No, this is impossible.Can a HostMonitor/system administrator specify a port for the RPC call the CPU test makes so that a fixed port is always used and can be assigned in the firewall?
