Morning,
I am in the process of moving our plastic server to a new machine. All going well so far, users, configs good, databases still transferring (will take a while so unable to powercycle at the moment).
However, I've tripped at a basic hurdle. Clients on our network are unable to see the server and it appears to be linked to good ol' windows firewall - as on disabling windows firewall on the server the client is then able to see the server.
Info:
Server OS: Windows Server 2019 Standard v. 1809
Client OS: Windows 10 Pro, Windows 11 Pro
Port used: 8087
Old server has been disconnected from the network
Troubleshooting so far
Using Telnet in command line on client computer confirms the port is open on the server's IP
Firewall rule created opening TCP 8087 over Domain, Private, Public - inbound and outbound
Tried other port numbers
Any help much appreciated
