Recreate the default RDP Listener

How to recreate the RDP listener.

  1. Export the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
  2. Delete the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
  3. Copy and paste the below text into notepad, and save the file as RDP-Tcp.reg. Additionally, if the operating system is 2012 R2, another file will be required with the contents of the second box.

Create an additional RDP Listener

Create an additional RDP Listener.

  1. Copy and paste the text from the box below into notepad. Additionally, if the operating system is 2012 R2, another file will be required with the contents of the second box. The below example will create a listener with the name RDP-Tcp-3390 that is listening on port 3390 (00000d3e). To change these values modify the bold text.
  2. Save the file when modification is complete.
  3. Double-click the resulting file and click Yes to confirm.

NOTE: The PortNumber is stored as a hexadecimal value. Windows calculator can be used to covert between decimal and hexadecimal.
