Opening up those well ports is an open invitation to be attacked. You need a
VPN solution between sites.  Absolutely.

Subject: [windows2000] Firewall Ports for Windows NT/2K/2K3 Authentication

 

Hi there,

I need to get a couple of firewalls between three offices opened up so that
the servers in one office can authenticate with the domain controller in the
others.

I've got a range of DC's to talk to;

Windows NT
Windows 2000
Windows 2003

What do I need for each?

The reason for this change is that previously, these servers were all acting
independantly, and we're now trying to get them to authenticate to the
company's domain controllers, but one set is NT and the other 2000/3 (I'm
still not sure which it is!) 

I've requested DNS, WINS and port 443, although I've also been told I need
the "High ports" (1024 to 65535) and Netbios although I'm reluctant to
request them unless I need to. Is there anything I'm missing? 

I don't need to establish a trust, as this should already be in place
between the 2000/3 and the NT side.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Rgds,

Jon "The Nice Guy"
