Restrict the UDP port range used by the remote access host

Computer and userIntune-readyRemoteAccessHostUdpPortRange

Supported on Microsoft Windows 7 or later

What it does

Setting the policy restricts the UDP port range used by the remote access host in this machine. Leaving the policy unset or set to an empty string means the remote access host can use any available port. Note: If RemoteAccessHostFirewallTraversal is Disabled, the remote access host will use UDP ports in the 12400-12409 range. Example value: 12400-12409
