Issue/Introduction:

Port 8000 is used for another application. I need to change the communication between the Endpoint Server and Endpoint Agent to use another port.

Resolution:

The default port for communications is 8000. To change the default port, you will need to change the appropriate value setting in the install_agent.bat file.

The port can be defined with the ENDPOINTSERVER name:port.

msiexec /i AgentInstall.msi /q INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Manufacturer\Endpoint Agent\" ENDPOINTSERVER="hostname:8002" KEY="" UNINSTALLPASSWORDKEY="" SERVICENAME="EDPA" WATCHDOGNAME="WDP" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT="1"
Please note that the port must also be configured for the Endpoint server:

Go to : System -> Overview -> [Endpoint Server Name] -> Configure -> Agent Listener

Change Port to match what is set in the install_agent.bat file.
