SOLVED SCCM Console destination connection port number alters with each reboot of the server

[marc1967]

Hi,
I installed the Microsoft Configuration Manager console on one of my management PC's that is in another network segment than the SCCM server. Since the network segments are controlled by a firewall, I encounter the problem that each time the SCCM server reboots, the destination connection port changed. In my case for instance ports 5007 up to 5010 are used.
Is there a way to setup a fixed TCP port for this connection so that I don't have to detect each time which port has been used and modify the firewall settings according this TCP port? I have no idea what services this port uses so I haven't got a clue where I can look for settings regarding this issue.
Hope somebody can point me to the solution of this problem.
Kind regards,
Marc
