2003 server behind firewall. What ports need open for AD

[Daniel Simard]

Good afternoon All,

I have a windows 2003 server that is behind a firewall. We currently have limited amount of ports open like Remote Desktop and Ping.

Because of that, when i remote desktop to it, i can only log-in locally as that server has no connection to Active Directory.

Could you help me find which ports are required to allow this computer to be a full domain member (be present as a computer account in AD, Receive the GPO's etc..) while being behind a firewall?

Your help is very much appreciated!
