  Port requirements when implementing shared configuration Reply Contact I'm interested in knowing what the port requirements are when implementing shared configuration.  Especially regarding the web content being located on a network share location or on another server. Does this require port 445, file sharing port opened to permit the WFE to reach the files in this other location? I am hoping not due to security issues around 445/file sharing.

  Re: Port requirements when implementing shared configuration Reply Contact Hi, Yes, it is  required port 445 opened to reach the shared files. We can locate the web content file or web config file on a network share location which can only internal visit, and host the website on the server machines have external IP address.
