  I know this is not a SQL Server related question but I hope somebody can help anyway.

  Environment:

  Windows Server 2003

  2 node cluster

  SQL Server 2K sp3a

  and finally (last week) Domino Server 6.5.3 and here comes the problem:

  We have a problem with Reserved Ports and on the Internet I found this:

  "The cluster service is installed by default as a part of Windows 2003 and

  therefore has the registry configured to protect it´s default port 3343.

  When Domino Server is installed it overwrites the registry key for the

  cluster service with it´s own port, thereby breaking the cluster service.

  The workaround is to delete the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\ReservedPorts

  and then recreat the registry key as a REG_MULTI_SZ value and include

  3343-3343 and 1352-1352 as the values."

  In fact we no more have the registry key with the value of 3343 but only a

  key with the value of 1352.

  2 Questions:

  What can happen if we do not change this value?

  Is it correct to modifiy the registry keys to there original value?

  Please advise.
