Ports for "Load from Inventory"
Hello,
because we have clients in different Networks, we need to open the ports on the firewall that we are able to do an inventory of the servers.
I recognized that the ports are random and there seems to be no possibility to set a static port. Is there a specific range that is used by the inventory tool?
Kind regards,
Nicole

Hello,
For the inventory tool, we use WMI requests to fetch the information. The port WMI uses when establishing the connection is 135, then it moves to a randomly assigned port. I believe that you might need to tweak your WMI settings on the remote machines to set a static port for WMI to use: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c2ca4979-165a-4bb9-903c-e23f6a35dbf1/wmi-ports?forum=winserverManagement

With a static port set for WMI it worked like a charm!
Thank you!
