Ports to be opened for configuring CRM Outlook Client over VPN

We have been receiving multiple questions regarding ports that need to be opened for CRM Outlook client to work over VPN. On collaboration with the Dev and Support teams, we were able to put up a list for this.

The following are the ports that are used by the CRM Client to access the server:

 

80/TCP --

TCP Port: 135/TCP

TCP Port: 445/TCP --

TCP Port: 1025/TCP --

TCP Port: 1041/TCP --

TCP Port: 139/TCP --

UDP Port: 445/UDP --

UDP Port: 500/UDP --

UDP Port: 1026/UDP --

UDP Port: 1027/UDP --

UDP Port: 1054/UDP --

 

You have to open port 2525 if it is a laptop client with the offline capabilities.

 

Please open these ports and see if the client will work over the VPN. Another thing to verify with the VPN connection is the DNS resolution. You need to verify that you can successfully run an NSLOOKUP to the CRM Server Name.
