IIS disable use of port 443

I want to change IIS is it does not use port 443. IIS Properties for
443 is greyed out. How do I keep IIS from listening on port 443?
I'm using Windows 2000 Advanced Server (IIS6). Thanks in advance for
your help.

Re: IIS disable use of port 443

Hello,

You can use adsutil.vbs to change this. Open up a command prompt and
navigate to C:\inetpub\adminscripts and type:

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc//securebindings ""

where should be replaced with the website ID. You can find this ID by
doing this:

In IIS Manager, right click the website and click properties. On the "Web
Site" tab, click the Properties button (for logging). At the bottom you
will see the number right after W3SVC.

If you later want to change back this property, type this:

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc//securebindings ":443:"

Hope this helps.

By the way, you do not have IIS 6.0 installed on Windows 2000 Advanced
Server. It is IIS 5.0!

Re: IIS disable use of port 443

I would assume that if it is grayed out then it is not listening on 443.

You would think so but kernel32.dll has port 443 open. When I stop the
WWW service, port 443 closes.

Thanks, after issuing the command, port 443 is no longer showing up in
netstat.
