Reserving a Port in Windows 2003 server

[Saral6978]

I need to reserve the UDP port, 53, for one of my DCs due to a recent DNS
update to see if this will resolve the issue I have with DNS not starting and
hanging my server on reboot. I have the instructions on how to do this from
here:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812873/
(Original problem describing update here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956188)


It says I must enter the port # in the format of xxxx-yyyy. If the port is
only 2 digits, do I just enter in 53-53 (just need to reserve a single port)
or do I enter 0053-0053? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I just want
to make sure.

Thank you!

Enter in 0053-0053 Make the string is REG_MULTI_SZ data type.

Re: Reserving a Port in Windows 2003 server

I would disagree with Dave.
With this logic, since the port range is 0 to 65535, you would need to type
00053-00053. I would use 53-53, but then again it might be irrelevant.

Sorry if this is dumb answer
