Question
Your company has a main office and a branch office. The two offices are connected by using a WAN link. Each office contains a firewall that filters WAN traffic. The network in the branch office contains 10 servers that run Windows Server. All servers are administered from the main office only. You plan to manage the servers in the branch office by using a Windows Admin Center gateway. On a server in the branch office, you install the Windows Admin Center gateway by using the defaults settings. You need to configure the firewall in the branch office to allow the required inbound connection to the Windows Admin Center gateway. Which inbound TCP port should you allow?

Explanation
Windows Admin Center (WAC) gateway listens on HTTPS port 443 by default when installed on Windows Server. Inbound access to the WAC gateway from remote administrators requires TCP 443 to be open. Port 3389 is RDP (remote desktop), port 5985 is WinRM over HTTP (used internally by WAC to communicate with managed nodes, but not the gateway's inbound listener), and port 6516 is sometimes seen in WAC documentation for desktop-mode installation but not for the gateway installation on a server. Since WAC was installed with default settings, port 443 is the correct inbound port to allow through the branch office firewall.
