    I am not sure you can explicitly change the port for the DAC listener from 1434 TCP. If 1434 TCP is in use when SQL Server starts up the engine will look for and assign a random port.

  • SQL port is very well known and can lead to attempted security breach. Much safer on non-standard ports so i planned to change it in my production server.

  • Remote DAC connections are disabled by default so no worries there, just leave them disabled if you're concerned.

    SELECT *

    FROM sys.configurations

    WHERE name = 'remote admin connections';
