SMBv1, is used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2003x, both of which are no longer supported by PDQ Deploy. In most cases, this will be the latest version, SMBv3, and will exclude SMBv1, which is the vulnerable version of SMB. In light of recent ransomware attacks, it is important to note PDQ Deploy utilizes the version of SMB available in your network. Legacy Ports for PDQ Server and Target Machines TCP 7337 (default for PDQ Inventory Central Server, may be changed to a different unused port).TCP 6336 (default for PDQ Deploy Central Server, may be changed to a different unused port).If you can manage remote computers using standard Windows administration tools you should be set since we use the same SMB protocol.
The following open ports are required on the Windows Firewall (or any other firewall) for proper functionality of both PDQ Deploy and PDQ Inventory. It is strongly recommended you do not disable or otherwise modify the firewall to block or impede the proper functioning of those ports. The ports outlined in this KB are in addition to the normal ports open for such things as LDAP (TCP 389)/AD, Kerberos, DNS, etc.
