Team Foundation Server (TFS) - Ports ... where is what?

In most implementations of TFS we end up having tough discussions with infrastructure and questions such as "what ports must we cater for"? Whether you are preparing for the TFS exam of the next TFS implementation, herewith a list of ports as we now them ... whereby this blog post will likely change and evolve over time:

Service TFS 2005 TFS 2008
SharePoint Central Administration 17012 17012
SQL Server 1433 1433
SQL Server Analysis Services Redirector 2382 2382
SQL Server Browser Service 1434 1434
SQL Server Monitoring 1444 1444
SQL Server Reporting Services 80 80
Team Foundation Server (TFS) 8080 8080
Team Web Access 8090 8090
TFS Build Remoting 9191 N/A
TFS Build WCF Interactive *1 N/A 9192
TFS Build WCF Service *2 N/A 9191
TFS Proxy 8081 8081
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 80 80

N/A: Not available

*1: (from config file) This is the port that is used by the Team Foundation Server Application Tier to connect to agents hosted by this executable when it is run as a command-line application. This value has to be the same as the value specified for the agent(s) in the Application Tier.

*2: (from config file) This is the port that is used by the Team Foundation Server Application Tier to connect to agents hosted by this executable when it is run as a windows service. This value has to be the same as the value specified for the agent(s) in the Application Tier.

Some additional information from Grant Holiday in terms of the 2005 to 2008 upgrade journey is and I quote:"

If you perform an upgrade from TFS2005, then upgrade WSS2.0 to WSS3.0 – you will need to specify an additional port for SharePoint Central Administration – which can’t be the same as your existing one.

By default, the WSS installer selects a random one, but I tend to choose 17013 or something like that.

Sudhir’s blog has some different upgrade scenarios:

  1. How do I upgrade from VS 2005 with default instance of TFS to Orcas with SQL named instance?
  2. How do I upgrade from VS 2005 with WSS2.0 to Orcas with WSS3.0?
  3. How do I upgrade from VS2005 with WSS3.0 to Orcas with remote (existing) WSS3.0 farm?
  4. How do I upgrade from VS 2005 with domain account for TFS service to Orcas with Network Service?

... end quote. Thanks Grant!

Is it possible to CHANGE the SQL port to something different (due to corporate security policy)?

With TFS 2008 it is supported, but is it really necessary? See my post dotnet.org.za/.../q-amp-a-with-amazon-about-the-server-2008-security-resource-kit-by-jesper.aspx which references an interesting post discussing security by Jesper.
