Changing the Central Administration TCP port

July 25, 2010 · by · in Configuration, Customisation, PowerShell, Tips and Tricks

During installation the SharePoint Central Administration site is assigned a randomly generated TCP port.  I have decided to change mine to something memorable as I can never remember it and have to log on to the server to check.

The best way to change the port is via the PowerShell using the following command:

Set-SPCentralAdministration -Port <PortNumber>

Note: You cannot assign a port lower than 1023, higher than 32767, 0r 443
