HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber

3. On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click "Decimal".


4. Type the new port number, and then click OK
5. Quit Registry Editor
6. Open the Services Controller (services.msc), using the run prompt.

7. Restart "Remote Desktop Services"

You will now be able to log back into the server with your  newly allocated RDP port.
