Remote Desktop (TCP-In) Properties Protocols and Ports tab grayed out
I want to change the Remote Desktop port (RDP) from the default (3389) to something else. Unfortunately, the entire Protocol and Ports tab is grayed out (see attachment) so I can't change it from there. Searching the web I found a registry entry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber, that can be used to change the port. When I use the registry entry, I see that my Windows 7 Pro SP1 (and also Windows Embedded Standard 7 SP1) begin listening on the new port, but the remote desktop client cannot connect using <ip address>:<new port> syntax. Is there a way to change the RDP port from the default 3389 to something else that really works? Thanks for your help.
