In ConFigMgr 2007 the client to site communication service ports used are HTTP (Standard) and HTTPS (Secure) ports and are both installed and configured during installation. However this can be changed when installing your site server(s) or modified after the initial install by right mouse clicking your Site (XXX- SiteName) and selecting Properties from the context menu in the Site Management leaf and selecting the Ports tab where the “Active Ports” are listed as in the example here:
Service
Port
Description
Client Request-HTTP (TCP)
80
(default) Client Requests-HTTP (TCP)
Client Request-HTTPS (TCP)
443
(default) Client Requests-HTTPS (TCP)
By default the HTTP port is set to Port 80 and the HTTPS port is set to Port 443 and as mentioned above can be modified or changed to reflect your infrastructures needs.
The ports can also be modified using the PortSwitch VBS script included on the installation media in the Tools\PortConfiguration directory folder using the following syntax to change the HTTP Port number:
Wscript PortSwitch.Vbs HttpNewPortNumber
Example: Wscript PortSwitch.Vbs 8530
You can also change both the HTTP and the HTTPS ports using the syntax here where the second number is the optional HTTPS port number:
Wscript PortSwitch.Vbs HttpNewPortNumber HttpsNewPortNumber
Example: Wscript PortSwitch.Vbs 8530 8531
The following g Registry key holds the information for the HTTP and HTTPS ports:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM
HttpPort=dword:Decimal Value
HttpsPort=dword:Decimal Value
