Which port should you open in the firewalls?

Your company has an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest with a single domain. All
servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run Windows 7 Enterprise. You deploy
Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) in the environment. After deployment, you are
unable to connect to the MED-V environment. You need to ensure that firewalls allow connections
to the MED-V environment. Which port should you open in the firewalls?

Explanation:
One port, that is needed to distribute (and deploy) MED-V packages is the HTTP/HTTPS port (TCP
80). Second port, that is needed for operations between MED-V Host Agent and MED-V Server is the
RDP (TCP 3389).
When a user starts a MED-V seamless application from the host, an instance of VMSAL.exe is
launched to initiate, monitors, and controls the application. An in-process ActiveX control,
MSTSCAX.dll, actually acts as the RDP client. VMSAL.exe will create a named pipe to connect to the
appropriate RDP server service on the VM guest and specifies port TCP port 3389 as the target
server port on the guest. http://florentium.rssing.com/chan-2091262/latest.php PS. Port TCP 8051
was set “for example” in one of technet’s guides. See http://blogs.technet.com/b/medv/
