The port number is an unsigned bit integer, so Improve this answer. Greg Hewgill Greg Hewgill k gold badges silver badges bronze badges. No one will ever have more than a few hundred open at once, tops. JessieArr and since you seem to be taking a leaf out of bill gate's book with his famous line about RAM, which was a statement made long ago that KB RAM would easily be enough in the future, and of course it is not.. And how would having a few hundred open ports make ports not enough?
But today web servers, network devices, etc. Microsoft wrote an interesting Technet article about how to diagnose and avoid it in Windows environments: blogs.
JessieArr in both those cases it's not really a issue, it's an issue of A programs not releasing connections, leaving them in a "WAIT" state that netstat shows combined with B some earlier windows versions only going from for dynamic ports.
And even then, who knows if that ever even happened,since no program has ever bothered to report to anybody that it couldn't get a dynamic port, neither has windows. So it's a thoretical problem not even really caused by the number. The Web browser may be the biggest user of connections. I have lines in my netstat output. Far from 65K — barlop. This means that a server can have many many more active connections than there are available open ports, and the amount of ports only places a limitation albeit a very large one on the amount of open connections between a single source and a single destination.
I don't think anyone will ever be running servers on or listening for connections on more than ports at any one time. Show 4 more comments.

A new client connection will be refused if all ports are used and a message will be written to the event log.
When a FileHold Server application is very busy with client requests, each FileHold client is making repeated, authenticated calls to the FileHold server application, and consequently there is repeated and continuous open and closing of connections. By default there are ports available in Windows because the usable port range is between port and port The FileHold web services communicate with the authenticated client repeatedly. On a very busy server the FileHold application can run into these port bottlenecks within the Windows server.
By default on Windows servers the operating system allows socket connections to be established between the ports — ; this equates to a little over 13, user ports. This is a larger amount than the default of Windows , but it may need to be increased on a busy server. It can also be an indicator that the server hardware is underpowered and not adequate for the job.
In those situations, it is better to know which ports are in use and which application is using that specific port. That way, you can either change the port or terminate the problem causing application so that the other one works as it should. Without further ado, let me show you how to find which ports are in use in Windows Using a single command, you can get a list of all the ports that are in use by various programs.
This method is quite useful if you want to take a quick glance at the ports in use. This option lets you open the command prompt with admin rights. In the elevated command prompt window, execute the below command. You can copy the command and paste it in the command prompt window by right-clicking inside it. In the resulting output, you will see the port number right next to the IP address ex: If any one of these protocols is unavailable or blocked between the client and a relevant domain controller, Group Policy will not apply or update.
For a cross-domain logon, where a computer is in one domain and the user account is in another domain, these protocols may be required for the client, the resource domain, and the account domain to communicate.
ICMP is used for slow link detection. When you initiate remote group policy results reporting from a Windows Server computer, access to the destination computer's event log is required. See the Event Log section in this article for port requirements.
Windows Server support the initiation of remote group policy update against Windows Server computers. SSL is an open standard for establishing an encrypted communications channel to help prevent the interception of extremely important information, such as credit card numbers. Although this service works on other Internet services, it is primarily used to enable encrypted electronic financial transactions on the World Wide Web WWW.
Internet Authentication Service IAS performs centralized authentication, authorization, auditing, and accounting of users who are connecting to a network. These users can be on a LAN connection or on a remote connection. This system service provides NAT, addressing, and name resolution services for all computers on your home network or your small-office network. When the Internet Connection Sharing feature is enabled, your computer becomes an Internet gateway on the network.
Other client computers can then share one connection to the Internet, such as a dial-up connection or a broadband connection. They do not provide these services on the external network interface. When you use the Kerberos Key Distribution Center KDC system service, users can sign in to the network by using the Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol. As in other implementations of the Kerberos protocol, the KDC is a single process that provides two services: the Authentication Service and the Ticket-Granting Service.
The Authentication Service issues ticket granting tickets, and the Ticket-Granting Service issues tickets for connection to computers in its own domain. The License Logging system service is a tool that was originally designed to help customers manage licenses for Microsoft server products that are licensed in the server client access license CAL model.
By default, the License Logging service is disabled in Windows Server Because of legacy design constraints and evolving license terms and conditions, License Logging may not provide an accurate view of the total number of CALs that are purchased compared to the total number of CALs that are used on a particular server or across the enterprise.
License Logging is not included in Windows Server and later operating systems. We recommend that only users of the Microsoft Small Business Server family of operating systems enable this service on their servers. The Message Queuing system service is a messaging infrastructure and development tool for creating distributed messaging programs for Windows.
These programs can communicate across heterogeneous networks and can send messages between computers that may be temporarily unable to connect to one another. Message Queuing helps provide security, efficient routing, support for sending messages within transactions, priority-based messaging, and guaranteed message delivery. The Microsoft POP3 service provides email transfer and retrieval services.
Administrators can use this service to store and manage email accounts on the mail server. When you install POP3 service on the mail server, users can connect to the mail server and can retrieve email messages by using an email client that supports the POP3 protocol, such as Microsoft Outlook. The Net Logon system service maintains a security channel between your computer and the domain controller to authenticate users and services.
It passes the user's credentials to a domain controller and returns the domain security identifiers and the user rights for the user. This is typically known as pass-through authentication. Net Logon is configured to start automatically only when a member computer or domain controller is joined to a domain. The NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing system service allows authorized users to use Windows NetMeeting to remotely access your Windows desktop from another personal computer over a corporate intranet.
You must explicitly enable this service in NetMeeting. You can disable or shut down this feature by using an icon that is displayed in the Windows notification area. Clients can use a news client, such as Microsoft Outlook Express, to retrieve newsgroups from the server and to read the headers or the bodies of the articles in each newsgroup. Offline Files and Roaming User Profiles cache user data to computers for offline use.
These capabilities exist in all supported Microsoft operating systems. All of these systems use SMB. Folder Redirection redirects user data from the local computer to a remote file share, using SMB. Primary Computer provides a capability to prevent data caching to computers that are not authorized by administrators for specific users.
This system was added in Windows Server The Performance Logs and Alerts system service collects performance data from local or remote computers based on preconfigured schedule parameters and then writes that data to a log or triggers a message.
Based on the information that is contained in the named log collection setting, the Performance Logs and Alerts service starts and stops each named performance data collection. This service runs only if at least one performance data collection is scheduled.
The Print Spooler system service manages all local and network print queues and controls all print jobs. Print Spooler is the center of the Windows printing subsystem.
The Remote Procedure Call RPC system service is an interprocess communication IPC mechanism that enables data exchange and invocation of functionality that is located in a different process. Many services depend on the RPC service to start successfully. By default, this service is turned off. The Remote Storage Notification system service notifies users when they read from or write to files that are available only from a secondary storage media.
Stopping this service prevents this notification. The Remote Storage system service stores infrequently used files on a secondary storage medium. If you stop this service, users cannot move or retrieve files from the secondary storage media.
Although the Routing and Remote Access service can use all the following protocols, the service typically uses only a few of them. For example, if you configure a VPN gateway that is behind a filtering router, you will probably use only one protocol. For more information about this, see the References section. The Server system service provides RPC support and file sharing, print sharing, and named pipe sharing over the network.
The Server service lets users share local resources, such as disks and printers, so that other users on the network can access them. It also enables named pipe communication between programs that are running on the local computer and on other computers. Named pipe communication is memory that is reserved for the output of one process to be used as input for another process.
