Reserve Port for BES Client for DNS Servers
| 0 Votes |
Description
| In some situations, the DNS service may bind to the same port as the BES Client. This will cause a Socket Error on the BES Client and prevent it from communicating properly with the rest of the BES deployment. This task will reserve the port used by the BES Client from use by other programs and processes that randomly select a port in the ephemeral port range. Note: Affected computers may report back as 'Pending Restart' once the patch has run successfully, but will not report back their final status until the computer has been restarted. |
