Fix for Desktop Central server port in use issue

Fix for Desktop Central server port in use issue

Hello everyone,

Greetings from Endpoint management technical support team.

A recently released windows patch has some issues which apparently shows ports as occupied when the application server releases its port for a restart.  You'll find the known issue note on all the problematic updates as shown below.

Known issues in this update

Restarting the SQL Service may fail occasionally with the error, “Tcp port is already in use”.
This issue is resolved in KB4345459.


This has also affected the Desktop Central server since most of the customers would be restarting the server after Hotfix installation.  A quick restart of the computer would fix it temporarity.  However, the permanent way is to deploy the fixed patches released by Microsoft.

Microsoft has already released fixes to handle such scenarios.  Here are the newly released  updates.
