This post is depricated. Please use newer version of script and read more details here: http:\/\/www.bhargavs.com\/index.php\/2011\/10\/21\/script-to-configure-static-ports-on-exchange-server-2010-2\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are planning to implement or are implementing Exchange Server 2010, you may have already noticed that with new changes introduced in this version we highly recommend that you load balance your CAS servers using hardware load balancer. The client connections are not mediated through RPC Client Access service on CAS and that\u2019s why load balancing CAS is very important.<\/p>\n

Now if you know how Outlook clients work with Exchange RPC\/MAPI, you may as well be aware that it uses random high ports for connection to the Exchange servers. This may not work well when you try to configure your hardware load balancer device. There are many other reasons why you may decide that you would rather use a static port or two for services that need it. It also makes it easy to configure network devices to work with few ports than a whole upper range of high ports.<\/p>\n

To that matter, TechNet article \u201cLoad Balancing Requirements of Exchange Protocols<\/a>\u201d has done a great job documenting how you can configure static ports on CAS and Mailbox servers. Henrik Walther<\/a> has also provided some more details on TechNet wiki article \u201cConfiguring Static RPC Ports on an Exchange 2010 Client Access Server<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now only if you had the script to do it all for you so you can enjoy doing other things that may be more important or interesting to you\u2026 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Well, that\u2019s why I have created this script\u2026 just for YOU!<\/p>\n

So, how do I run the script?<\/p>\n

There are few ways you can run it. One is to just call the script with your server name.<\/p>\n

& 'c:\\scripts\\Set-StaticPorts.ps1' -Server Server1<\/pre>\n
This will change RPC and Address Book ports on the server you specify.<\/p>\n
If you want to change many servers, store your servers in a variable and pipe it. Use whichever method works for you to create the array variable with servers you need. One example is to use text file containing one server per line:<\/p>\n
$Servers = Get-Content c:\\scripts\\servers.txt\n$Servers | Foreach {& 'c:\\scripts\\Set-StaticPorts.ps1' -Server $_}<\/pre>\n
The script can be run remotely as long as you have proper permissions on the server to change registry and exchange configuration files.<\/p>\n
So far, in examples above, we did not specify which ports to use for each service. The script accommodates for this by having default values 7575 and 7576 for RPC Service and Address Book Service respectively. But what if you want to specify your own ports? Run:<\/p>\n
& 'c:\\scripts\\Set-StaticPorts.ps1' -Server Server1 -rpcport \"50000\" -abport \"50001\"<\/pre>\n
This will allow you to define your own ports. Just ensure you are not using well known ports or ports in use by other services in your environment to avoid any conflict or confusion.<\/p>\n
The script is noisy as you may notice when you run it. It is intentional. It will prompt for your confirmation when changing ports if they are already changed before. It will ask for confirmation before restarting services. Now you may say, I am running the script and I know what I am doing. Well, let the force be with you. \u2013force parameter I mean!<\/p>\n
& 'c:\\scripts\\Set-StaticPorts.ps1' -Server Server1 -rpcport \"50000' -abport \"50001\" \u2013force $true<\/pre>\n
And this will silcence prompting. It will still write output for each server to the host. You can redirect it to a file as well!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
& 'c:\\scripts\\Set-StaticPorts.ps1' -Server Server1 -rpcport \"50000\" -abport \"50001\" \u2013force $true | out-file c:\\scripts\\results.txt<\/pre>\n
So, where is this script? You can download it here: Set-StaticPorts.ps1<\/a><\/p>\n
If you are still reading, here\u2019s the actual script to refer:<\/p>\n
