Communication between DPM server and agent

Recently I received several questions regarding what TCP and UDP ports and protocols DPM uses. Here’s a list of the ports and protocols used:

SERVICE		PORT		PROTOCOL
DCOM		135		TCP (Dynamic)
TCP		5718, 5719		TCP
DNS		53		UDP
Kerberos		88		TCP
LDAP		389		TCP, UDP
NetBIOS		137, 138		UDP
		139, 445		TCP

Note that the ports 5718 and 5719 are DPM specific. 5718 is used for the agent coordinator and 5719 for the agent.
