Morning all.

Well, stupid me did a Microsoft critical update to my Quark License Server yesterday which sits on top of a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise box. The client systems had now updates done to them.

After I did the updates Quark Licensing no longer worked off of port 1024. I'm assuming Microsoft has decided to now use that port for their own purposes. I called into Quark tech to get their read and I was right as we changed port setup for server and one client and that worked. But I have over a couple of hundred of client systems to change along with firewall edits.

Can anyone tell me what Microsoft has done with port 1024 and if I really need the service that Microsoft has issued for that port. If I don't need it then how do I kill it from using that port.

Thanks in advance to all.
