How do I open the firewall port for SQL Server on Windows Server 2008?

The script that is discussed in this section opens the firewall ports for SQL Server.

To create the script, follow these steps:

  1. Start Notepad.
  2. Copy and paste the following code into Notepad:
    @echo =========  SQL Server Ports  ===================
    @echo Enabling SQLServer default instance port 1433
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 1433 "SQLServer"
    @echo Enabling Dedicated Admin Connection port 1434
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 1434 "SQL Admin Connection"
    @echo Enabling conventional SQL Server Service Broker port 4022
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 4022 "SQL Service Broker"
    @echo Enabling Transact-SQL Debugger/RPC port 135
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 135 "SQL Debugger/RPC"
    @echo =========  Analysis Services Ports  ==============
    @echo Enabling SSAS Default Instance port 2383
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 2383 "Analysis Services"
    @echo Enabling SQL Server Browser Service port 2382
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 2382 "SQL Browser"
    @echo =========  Misc Applications  ==============
    @echo Enabling HTTP port 80
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 80 "HTTP"
    @echo Enabling SSL port 443
    netsh firewall set portopening TCP 443 "SSL"
    @echo Enabling port for SQL Server Browser Service's 'Browse' Button
    netsh firewall set portopening UDP 1434 "SQL Browser"
    @echo Allowing multicast broadcast response on UDP (Browser Service Enumerations OK)
    netsh firewall set multicastbroadcastresponse ENABLE
    
  3. Save the file as a .txt file by using the following name: OpenSqlServerPort.txt
  4. Rename the OpenSqlServerPort.txt file to the following: OpenSqlServerPort.bat

Before you run the OpenSqlServerPort.bat script, you must copy the script to the computer which has the firewall and then run the script on that computer. To run the script, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, use the cd command to navigate to the folder in which you saved the OpenSqlServerPort.bat file.
  3. To run the OpenSqlServerPort.bat script, type OpenSqlServerPort.bat at the command prompt, and then press ENTER.

Setting up multiple mail domains exchange server 2003

There are several ways to setup multiple domain on single Active Directory / Exchange domain.

I am listing one which I used for my organization:

1. Create an OU for placing users of xyz.com, say XYZ.

2. Create Universal Security Group for xyz.com users

with mail sending permission to all xyz.com users, say XyzSec.

3. Create a Recipient Policy for xyz.com, say xyz.com with a custom filter rule

using memberOf attribute (here filter rule will include memberOf XyzSec).

4. Create Address List for xyz.com users so that users of other domain can easily find them in GAL.

5. If you want xyz.com users to logon to their own domain,

then you have to add UPN suffix to XYZ OU using ADSIEDIT tool.

6. In ADSIEDIT, locate XYZ OU under domainDNS class.

Open Properties, under Attribute Editor tab you will find number of attributes.

7. Locate uPNSuffixes attribute and edit it to include xyz.com.

Now you are ready to create users for xyz.com domain.

8. In Active Directory Users and Computers go to XYZ OU and create new users there.

9. Steps will be similar to normal account creation except you will find that here you can select either abc.com or xyz.com domain

because of the UPN suffix we added in steps 6 and 7. Here you have to select xyz.com.

10. After account creation done, add that user to XyzSec security group.

Now after a while this user will get xyz.com smtp address once Recipient Policy created for this domain gets applied automatically.

You can also apply this policy manually through Exchange System Manager.

Please remember, to append xyz.com smtp address automatically to users following must be taken care:

1. Users must be created in XYZ OU and xyz.com domain must be selected in Account Creation Wizard.
2. Users must be added to XyzSec security group so that they can pass memberOf filter rule created in xyz.com Recipient Policy.

I hope this will address your query.
