Nearly 5 months ago, I posted a tip on how to change the listening port of Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
This tip involves changing some values in your registry. Beginners can find it hard to mess with their Registry because one wrong modification, you won’t be able to boot up your Windows.
Here’s a much easier way on how you can change the listening port for Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.
Again, IntelliAdmin has released a free tool where you can easily change the Remote Desktop listening port on your local computer and also on another computer across the LAN.
As you can see, it’s so easy to use. Just select Local System if you’re changing the listening port on your own computer, and set the port number you desire at where it says Port Number and click Submit button. If you want to change the listening port on a computer in a LAN, just select Remote Computer, type in the computer name/ip address or you can click on the “…” button to browse for the computer. For some computer, you’ll need to authenticate using another account.
One small thing which I don’t understand about this tool is I see a small text saying “Upgrade To Pro” at the bottom left. I clicked on it but couldn’t find anything about Pro version for this tool. Perhaps there will be one at a later time.
