Anyone here want to educate me on why we shouldn't do this? Probably get replies faster here than my network guy who is slammed...

It's the ports between it and the DC's I need to open, and from what I've read last couple of days is I need for a machine to be able to authenticate with a DC: TCP/UDP port 88 (Kerberos) TCP port 135 (RPC) TCP/UDP port 389 (LDAP) TCP ports > 1024 (RPC) * * This is where you use KB154596 to limit this range If you need DNS from the same box then add TCP/UDP 53 David Lum // SYSTEMS ENGINEER NORTHWEST EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (Desk) 971.222.1025 // (Cell) 503.267.9764 From: Michael B.

You should do a netstat -a -b -n to see what ports are open on the internal AD server, and also check the firewall logs to see what ports are being blocked when you try and authenticate (if you have not already). RPC normally uses random ports above 1024 for specific RPC communications between client/server applications, but there are registry changes that can restrict the range of ports used.
