SharePoint 2010: Changing Central Administration Site Port

Introduction

In some scenarios changing the Central Administration site port is required. You can use the following methods to accomplish this.

Use the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard

When you run the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard from Psconfigui.exe, you can specify the port to which the Central Administration port is bound.
  

Using Stsadm Commands

You can use STSADM with the setadminport operation to modify the port to which the Central Administration site is bound.

Stsadm –o setadminport –port <PortNumber>

 
<PortNumber> is the available port number you can specify
  

Using Windows PowerShell

You can use Set-SPCentralAdministration cmdlet with the –Port parameter to modify the Central administration web site port

For example, to change the port number to 7443:

Set-SPCentralAdministration –Port 7443

Note: Port number cannot be changed from the Central Administration web site itself
