Firewall configuration: ports for data collection

When you configure your firewall, UC Analytics requires access to the following TCP and UDP ports for Exchange 2010 and later:

TCP/UDP 135-139

Microsoft file sharing SMB (Server Message Block)

TCP/UDP 445

Direct-hosted SMB traffic and user authentication

TCP/UDP 88

Kerberos authentication

TCP/389 (DC) or TCP/3268 (GC)

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) connection

TCP/636 (DC) or TCP/3269 (GC)

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) connection over SSL

TCP/UDP 53

DNS (Domain Name System)

TCP/UDP 137

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)

TCP Port 80

Remote PowerShell for Exchange (also required access to the IIS PowerShell virtual directory on your Exchange servers)

TCP Port 443

Remote PowerShell for Skype for Business / Lync (also required access to the IIS OcsPowerShell virtual directory on your Skype for Business / Lync Servers)

TCP 5985 (HTTP) and 5986 (HTTPS)

WinRM (Windows Remote Management) service

If you have implemented an intelligent firewall, you can configure the firewall to allow the specific types of network access (SMB, LDAP, and so on) that UC Analytics requires instead of access to specific ports.

In a distributed installation where you have a multiple UC Analytics servers deployed and there are firewalls between the UC Analytics servers, certain ports are required for service-to-service communication.

Planning for deployment

When you are planning your deployment, you must determine the number of servers across which you are deploying UC Analytics. You also must determine how much storage is required for the number of mailboxes from which you are collecting data.

For additional information see the UC Analytics Deployment Sizing.xlsx spreadsheet which can be found under Documentation in the autorun.exe.

Determining where to install services

It is not recommended that you install any UC Analytics services on the same server where core MessageStats or UC Diagnostics is installed.

If you are installing the UC Analytics services on several computers, consider the following information:

For large installations, use one of the recommended deployments provided in the installer. For additional information see the UC Analytics Deployment Sizing.xlsx spreadsheet which can be found under Documentation in the autorun.exe.

What files need to communicate through software firewalls?

Software firewalls, such as Windows Firewall, can prevent the code in the UC Analytics processes from performing necessary network input and output. Such firewalls must be configured to allow the UC Analytics Data Engine to communicate with the Query Engine and to communicate with your Exchange, Active Directory, Cisco, and Skype for Business resources.

The files that can be affected by a software firewall are as follows:
