Is there a way to check what port Spotlight is connecting to? (4324556)

1. What actual port does Spotlight uses for connection?

2. How to test or check that the Diagnostic Server Service makes a connection with the monitored server using the DCOM port that was set.

netstat can be used in a command prompt window.

netstat -a –b

Can take quite a while due to machine name resolution. Shows the ports in use by application. Look for [QuestOOPCollector.exe], When the port is epmap that is the WMI port.

Or

Netstat –a –t 5

This command shows which connections are established on a computer and the report changes every 5 seconds.

Other options are:

TCPView tool which is downloadable from Microsoft at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437

Or

Process explorer provided by sysinternals shows per process what ports are in use.
