To make it hackers less easy to connect with RDP to our servers or desktops we can change the port for this and I really recommend it to every one.

Simply choose a random number and than follow the instructions here.

This can be achieved by using regedit to manipulate the registry

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\

 

Enter here for the PortNumber a new decimal value (switch from hexadecimal to decimal).

 

windows regedit

 

Pay attention to not forget to adapt your firewall rules with the new ports and your port forwarding rules within your router.
