Exam 220-1002 topic 1 question 462 discussion

You cannot change listening port in Services. The question is poorly stated as well. I assume they mean make sure the PC is listening on that port. You change the port in the registry. You would open the port by using the local firewall tool whether it is windows defender or some other firewall.

To change the listening port for Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) (default port 3389) on a Windows PC, the technician must: Modify the Windows Registry to change the port. Then, allow the new port through the Windows (local) firewall so that remote connections can reach the system on the new port. Let's break down the options: A. Local firewall ✅ You must configure the local firewall to allow the new RDP port after changing it in the registry. Without this, the new port would be blocked, and RDP would not function. B. MSTSC (Microsoft Terminal Services Client) ❌ This is the Remote Desktop client, used to connect to other computers, not to configure RDP settings. C. MSINFO32 ❌ This tool displays system information, not used to configure network ports. D. Services ❌ The Services console allows you to start/stop services, not change RDP ports.

You can open the Remote Desktop Connection client by going to Run –> mstsc. Simply put, the default port for using the Remote Desktop Protocol is 3389. This port should be open through Windows Firewall to make it RDP accessible within the local area network.

It should be MSTSC - You can open the Remote Desktop Connection client by going to Run –> mstsc. Simply put, the default port for using the Remote Desktop Protocol is 3389. This port should be open through Windows Firewall to make it RDP accessible within the local area network.

Mstsc->in rdp window select ip to connect to->add a port

The reference article clearly states that the port is changed by editing the registry, not services. the RDP service is restarted once the change is made, but that's it. All other articles on the subject confirm this. A is the best answer.

(EL TECNICO NECESITA PERMITIR) si necesita permitir entonces es cortafuegos la respuesta. Esta mal redactada y es confusa.

Checked the ref. page below and theres 2 steps to changed the port for RDP. 1.you create a new port rule on local firewall. 2.set the newly opened port for RDP by registry editor. https://upcloud.com/community/tutorials/resolve-problems-windows-remote-desktop/ Firewall and regedit both can be the answer. I dont understand why D.Services was chosen as the answer by the site. They should know A.Local Firewall is the answer after reading this or am I missing something??

The answer is D lol

"OS tools"

B. MSTSC... https://www.parallels.com/blogs/ras/mstsc-commands-alternatives/

It is Firewall https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/change-listening-port

Why isn't it B? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mstsc "/V:<server>[:<port>] - Specifies the remote computer and, optionally, the port number to which you want to connect."

found in reference page of the answer: In the Services (Local) list, scroll down to find Remote Desktop Service, and restart it. A confirmation popup asks to restart other related services as well, click Yes to continue. You will get disconnected if you were using RDP to make these changes. Afterwards just reconnect to your new port by defining it in the Computer field on RDP connection.
