Ports required to allow access through DMZ zone and MMC Plug - ins

Hi,

I need to know what ports to open up on the firewall to allow access to the following:

1. Active Directory for our FTP Server sitting in the DMZ to communicate with the domain controller
2. Port to open for a windows xp plug in MMC for IIS6 to communicate to windows 2003 server sitting in the DMZ
3.  What MMC is required to be able to remotely restart services on a windows 2003 server, using a windows xp machine on another network. (what ports? same as the port in question 2?)

Thanks

Julia

very helpful thanks,

but any clues on point 3?
You would be better off using remote desktop to mess with services.

To connect to a remote PC, go to Start, Run, type MMC
Hit enter and go to File, Add Remove Snap-in, and add the Services snap-in
It will ask you if you want to run this console for the local machine or connect to a remote one, pick remote and follow the "instructions"

It could prove difficult to do if you are on a totally seperate network though, which is why I would use Remote Desktop:
On Server: right click My Computer, Properties, Remote Tab, check " Allow Users"
Add an account to allowed users
Forward port 3389 to the server, and set up a RDP connection on the XP workstation using the user accounts credentials that you allowed access for on the Server..
