This article discusses the new features and functionality that are available in PortQry Command Line Port Scanner version 2.0.

PortQry version 1.22 is a TCP/IP connectivity testing utility that is included with the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Support Tools. Microsoft has released a new version of PortQryV2.exe. This new version includes all the features and functionality of the earlier version and has new features and functionality.

Note PortQry Command Line Port Scanner version 2.0 is no longer available to download. This article only introduces the features and functionality of it in case you have already downloaded it.

Overview

PortQry is a command-line utility that you can use to help troubleshoot TCP/IP connectivity issues. This utility reports the port status of target TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports on a local computer or on a remote computer. PortQry version 2.0 also provides detailed information about the local computer's port usage. PortQry version 2.0 runs on all the following operating systems:

Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows 2000

Port status reporting

PortQry reports the status of a port in one of the following ways:

LISTENING This response indicates that a process is listening on the target port. PortQry received a response from the target port.
NOT LISTENING This response indicates that no process is listening on the target port. PortQry received one of the following Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages from the target port:
Destination unreachable

Port unreachable
FILTERED This response indicates that the target port is being filtered. PortQry did not receive a response from the target port. A process may or may not be listening on the target port. By default, PortQry queries a TCP port three times before it returns a response of FILTERED and queries a UDP port one time before it returns a response of FILTERED.

PortQry version 2.0 features

Depending on the process that listens on a UDP port, sometimes it may be difficult to determine the status of that UDP port. When an unformatted zero-length or fixed-length message is sent to a target UDP port, the port may or may not respond. If the port responds, it has a status of LISTENING. If you receive an ICMP "Destination unreachable" message from a UDP port, or if a TCP reset response is returned from a TCP port, the port has a status of NOT LISTENING. Typical port scanning tools report that the port has a LISTENING status if the target UDP port does not return an ICMP "Destination unreachable" message. This result may not be accurate for one or both of the following reasons:

When there is no response to a directed datagram, the target port may be FILTERED.
Most services do not respond to an unformatted user datagram that is sent to them.

Typically, only one correctly formatted message that uses the session layer or that uses the application layer protocol that the listening service or the program understands elicits a response from the target port.

When you troubleshoot a connectivity problem, especially in an environment that contains one or more firewalls, it is useful to know if a port is being filtered or if it is listening. PortQry includes some special features to help make this determination on selected ports. If there is no response from a target UDP port, PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or FILTERED. PortQry then sends a correctly formatted message that the listening service or program understands. PortQry uses the correct session layer or application layer protocol to determine if the port is listening. PortQry uses the Services file that is located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to determine which service listens on each port.

Note This file is stored on each Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000-based computer.

Because PortQry is intended as a troubleshooting tool, it is expected that users who use it to troubleshoot a particular problem have sufficient knowledge of their computing environment. PortQry version 2.0 supports the following session layer and application layer protocols:

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)
Domain Name System (DNS)
NetBIOS Name Service
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA)
SQL Server 2000 Named Instances
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

Additionally, PortQry version 2.0 can accurately determine if more UDP ports are open than can PortQry version 1.22.

LDAP support

PortQry can send an LDAP query by using both TCP and UDP and interpret an LDAP server's response to that query correctly. PortQry parses, formats, and then returns the response from the LDAP server to the user. For example, you type the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry -n myserver -p udp -e 389

PortQry then performs the following actions:

PortQry uses the Services file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to resolve the UDP port 389. If PortQry resolves the port to the LDAP service, PortQry sends an unformatted user datagram to UDP port 389 on the destination computer.

PortQry does not receive a response from the target port because the LDAP service only responds to a correctly formatted LDAP query.
PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or FILTERED.
PortQry sends a correctly formatted LDAP query to UDP port 389 on the destination computer.
If PortQry receives a response to this query, it returns the whole response to the user and reports that the port is LISTENING.

If PortQry does not receive a response to this query, it reports that the port is FILTERED.

Sample output

UDP port 389 (unknown service): LISTENING or FILTERED

======== End of LDAP query response ========

UDP port 389 is LISTENING

In this example, you determine that port 389 is listening. Additionally, you can determine which LDAP service is listening on port 389 and certain details about that service.

Be aware that the LDAP test over UDP may not work against domain controllers that are running Windows Server 2008. To check the availability of the service that is running on UDP 389, you can use NLTEST instead of the PortQry tool. For example, you can use Nltest /sc_reset \ to force a security channel onto a particular domain controller. For more information, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961803.aspx

RPC support

PortQry can send an RPC query by using both TCP and UDP and interpret the response to that query correctly. This query returns (dumps) all the end points that are currently registered with the RPC endpoint mapper. PortQry parses, formats, and then returns the response from the RPC endpoint mapper to the user. For example, you type the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry -n myserver -p udp -e 135

PortQry then performs the following actions:

PortQry uses the Services file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder to resolve the UDP port 135. If PortQry resolves the port to the RPC End Point Mapper service (Epmap), PortQry sends an unformatted user datagram to UDP port 135 on the destination computer.

PortQry does not receive a response from the target port because the RPC endpoint mapper service only responds to a correctly formatted RPC query.
PortQry reports that the port is LISTENING or the port is FILTERED.
PortQry sends a correctly formatted RDC query to UDP port 135 on the destination computer. This query returns all the endpoints that are currently registered with the RPC endpoint mapper.
If PortQry receives a response to this query, PortQry returns the whole response to the user and reports that the port is LISTENING.

If PortQry does not receive a response to this query, it reports that the port is FILTERED.

Sample output

==== End of RPC Endpoint Mapper query response ====

UDP port 135 is LISTENING

In this example, you determine that port 135 is listening. Additionally, you can determine which services or programs are registered with the RPC endpoint mapper database on the destination computer. The output includes the universal unique identifier (UUID) for each program, the annotated name (if one exists), the protocol that each program uses, the network address that the program is bound to, and the program's endpoint in square brackets.

Note When you specify the -r option in the PortQry.exe command to scan a range of ports, the RPC End Point Mapper is not queried. This makes the scan of a range of ports faster.

DNS support

PortQry can send a correctly formatted DNS query by using both TCP and UDP. PortQry sends a DNS query for the following fully qualified domain name (FQDN):

portqry.microsoft.com

PortQry then waits for a response from the destination DNS server. If the server returns a response, PortQry determines that the port is LISTENING.

Note It is not important whether the DNS server returns a negative response. Any response indicates that the port is listening.

NetBIOS name service support

By default, the NetBIOS name service listens on UDP port 137. When PortQry determines that this port is LISTENING or FILTERED, PortQry performs the following actions to determine whether the port is actually listening:

If NetBIOS is available on the computer where you are running PortQry, PortQry sends a NetBIOS adapter status query to the destination computer.
If the destination computer responds to this query, PortQry reports that the target port is LISTENING, and then returns the destination computer's media access control (MAC) address to the user.

If NetBIOS is not available on the computer where you are running PortQry, PortQry does not try to send a NetBIOS adapter status query to the destination computer.

SNMP support

SNMP support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. By default, the SNMP service listens on UDP port 161. To determine whether port 161 is listening, PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that the SNMP service accepts. The SNMP service is configured with a community name or a string that you must know to obtain a response from the server. With PortQry, you can specify SNMP community names when you query this port. By default, PortQry uses the community name, "Public." To specify a different community name, use the -cn command-line option. When you specify a community name in the PortQry.exe command, enclose that community name in exclamation marks (!). For example, to specify a community name such as secure123, type a command that is similar to the following command:

portqry -n 127.0.0.1 -e 161 -p udp -cn !secure123!

Sample output

Querying target system called:

127.0.0.1

querying...

UDP port 161 (snmp service): LISTENING or FILTERED

community name for query:

secure123

Sending SNMP query to UDP port 161...

UDP port 161 is LISTENING

ISA Server support

Microsoft ISA Server support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. By default, ISA Server uses TCP port 1745 and UDP port 1745 to communicate with Winsock proxy clients and with firewall clients. Computers that have the Winsock proxy client program or the Firewall client program installed use these ports to request services from ISA Server and to download configuration information. Typically, these services include name resolution services and other services that are not HTTP-based (for example, Winsock connections). To determine whether the port is listening, PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that ISA Server accepts.

Sample output

For example, you type a command that is similar to the following command:

portqry -n myproxy-server -p udp -e 1745

You receive the following output:

Querying target system called:

myproxy-server

Attempting to resolve name to IP address...


Name resolved to 169.254.24.86

querying...

UDP port 1745 (unknown service): LISTENING or FILTERED

Sending ISA query to UDP port 1745...

UDP port 1745 is LISTENING

When PortQry queries TCP port 1745, PortQry downloads the Mspclnt.ini file from the ISA Server if the Mspclnt.ini file is available on that port. The Mspclnt.ini file contains configuration information that Winsock proxy clients and Firewall clients use.

Sample output

TCP port 1745 (unknown service): LISTENING

Sending ISA query to TCP port 1745...

SQL Server 2000 support

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. PortQry queries UDP port 1434 to query all the SQL Server named instances that are running on a SQL Server 2000 computer. PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that SQL Server 2000 accepts to determines whether this port is listening.

Sample output

For example, you type a command that is similar to the following command:

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -e 1434 -p udp

You receive the following output:

Querying target system called:

192.168.1.20

==== End of SQL Server query response ====

UDP port 1434 is LISTENING

TFTP support

TFTP support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. By default, TFTP servers listen on UDP port 69. PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that the TFTP server accepts to determine whether this port is listening.

Sample output

For example, you type a command that is similar to the following command:

portqry -n myserver.example.com -p udp -e 69

You receive the following output:

Querying target system called:

myserver.example.com

Attempting to resolve name to IP address...


Name resolved to 169.254.23.4

querying...

UDP port 69 (tftp service): LISTENING or FILTERED

Sending TFTP query to UDP port 69...

UDP port 69 is LISTENING

L2TP support

L2TP support is a new feature in PortQry version 2.0. Routing and Remote Access servers and other virtual private networking (VPN) servers listen on UDP port 1701 for inbound L2TP connections. PortQry sends a query that is formatted in the way that the VPN server accepts to determine whether this port is listening.

Sample output

For example, you type a command that is similar to the following command:

portqry -n vpnserver.example.com -e 1701-p udp

You receive the following output:

Querying target system called:

vpnserver

Attempting to resolve name to IP address...

Name resolved to 169.254.12.225

querying...

UDP port 1701 (l2tp service): LISTENING or FILTERED

Sending L2TP query to UDP port 1701...

UDP port 1701 is LISTENING

Customize ports that queries use

By default, every Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000-based computer has a Services file that is located in the %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers\Etc folder. PortQry uses this file to resolve port numbers to their corresponding service names. The content of this file dictates the ports where PortQry sends formatted messages when you use the PortQry.exe command. You can edit this file to direct PortQry to send formatted messages to an alternative port. For example, the following entry appears in a typical Services file:

ldap              389/tcp                           #Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

You can edit this port entry or add an additional entry. To cause PortQry to send LDAP queries to port 1025, modify the entry to the following entry:

ldap              1025/tcp                           #Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

Additional service information returned

PortQry displays extended information that some ports may return. PortQry looks for this "extended information" on ports where the following services listen:

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
Microsoft Exchange POP3
Microsoft Exchange IMAP4
FTP Publishing Service
ISA Server services

For example, by default, the FTP service listens on TCP port 21. When PortQry determines that TCP port 21 on the destination computer is LISTENING, it uses the information from the Services file to determine that the FTP service is listening on this port.

Note You can change the service that PortQry determines is listening on a port by editing the Services file. For additional information, see the "Customize ports that queries use" section of this article.

In this scenario, PortQry tries to use the Anonymous user account to log on to the FTP server. The result of this logon attempt indicates whether the destination FTP server accepts anonymous logons. PortQry returns the server's response.

Example 1: You type a command that is similar to the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry -n MyFtpServer -p tcp -e 21

You receive a response that is similar to the following response:

TCP port 21 (ftp service): LISTENING

Data returned from port:
220 Microsoft FTP Service

331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password.

In Example 1, you can determine the type of FTP server that is listening on the target port and whether the FTP server is configured to permit anonymous user logons.

Example 2: You type a command that is similar to the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry -n MyMailServer -p tcp -e 25

You receive a response that is similar to the following response:

TCP port 25 (smtp service): LISTENING

Data returned from port:
220 MyMailServer.domain.example.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.0 ready at Mon, 15 Dec 2003 10:24:50 -0800

In Example 2, you can determine the type of SMTP server that is listening on the target port.

PortQry command-line options

You can use the following command-line options with PortQry:

-n (name): This parameter is required. Use this parameter to specify the destination computer. You can specify a host name or a host IP address. However, you cannot embed spaces in the host name or in the IP address. PortQry resolves the host name to an IP address. If PortQry cannot resolve the host name to an IP address, the tool reports an error, and then exits. If you enter an IP address, PortQry resolves it to a host name. If the resolution is unsuccessful, PortQry reports an error, but continues to process the command.

Examples
portqry -n myserver

portqry -n www.widgets.microsoft.com

portqry -n 192.168.1.10
-p (protocol): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify the type of port or protocol that is used to connect to the target port on the destination computer. If you do not specify a protocol, PortQry uses TCP as the protocol.

Valid parameters
- TCP (default): Specifies a TCP end point.
- UDP: Specifies a UDP end point.
- BOTH: Specifies both a TCP end point and a UDP end point. When you use this option, PortQry queries both the TCP end point and the UDP end point that you specify.
Examples
portqry -n myDomainController.example.com -p tcp

portqry -n myServer -p udp

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -p both

portqry -n www.widgets.microsoft.com (This command uses the default parameter tcp.)
-e (endpoint): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify the end point (or the port number) on the destination computer. This must be a valid port number between 1 and 65535 inclusive. You cannot use this parameter together with the -o parameter or the -r parameter. If you do not specify a port number, PortQry queries port 80.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -e 139

portqry -n mail.example.com -p tcp -e 25

portqry -n myserver (This command uses the default parameter of port 80.)

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -p both -e 60897
-o (order): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a certain number of ports to be queried in a particular order. You cannot use this option together with the -e parameter or together with the -r parameter. When you use this parameter, use commas to delimit the port numbers. You can enter the port numbers in any order. However, you cannot leave spaces between the port numbers and the comma delimiters.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -o 139,1025,135

portqry -n mail.widgets.microsoft.com -p tcp -o 143,110,25

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -p both -o 100,1000,10000
-r (range): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a range of port numbers to query in sequential order. You cannot use this option together with the -e parameter or together with the -o parameter. When you use this parameter, use a semi-colon (;) to delimit the starting port number and the ending port number. Specify a starting port that is lower than the ending port. Additionally, you cannot put spaces between the port numbers and the semi-colon. When you use this parameter, the RPC End Point Mapper is not queried.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -r 135;139

portqry-n www.widgets.microsoft.com -p tcp -r 10;20

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -p both -r 25;120
-l (log file): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a log file to record the output generated by PortQry. When you use this parameter, specify a file name together with the file name extension. You cannot type spaces in the log file name. The log file is created in the folder where PortQry runs. PortQry generates the log file output in text format. If an existing log file with the same name exists, you are prompted to overwrite it when you run the PortQry command.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -r 135;139 -l myserverlog.txt

portqry -n mail.widgets.microsoft.com -p tcp -o 143,110,25 -l portqry.log

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -p both -e 500 -l ipsec.txt -y
-y (yes, overwrite): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter together with the -l parameter to suppress the "overwrite" prompt when a log file exists that has the same name that you specify in the PortQry command. When you use this parameter, PortQry overwrites the existing log file without prompting you.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -r 135;139 -l myserverlog.txt -y

portqry -n mail.widgets.microsoft.com -p tcp -o 143,110,25 -l portqry.log -y
-sl (slow link): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to cause PortQry to wait longer for responses from UDP queries. Because UDP is a connectionless protocol, PortQry cannot determine whether the port is slow to respond or the port is filtered. This option doubles the time that PortQry waits for a response from a UDP port before PortQry determines that the port is NOT LISTENING or that it is FILTERED. Use this option when you query a UDP port across a slow or unreliable network link.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -r 135;139 -l myserver.txt -sl

portqry -n mail.widgets.microsoft.com -p tcp -o 143,110,25 -sl

portqry -n 192.168.1.20 -p both -e 500 -sl
-nr (no reverse name lookup): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to bypass the reverse name lookup that PortQry performs when you specify an IP address together with the -n parameter. By default, when you specify an IP address together with the -n parameter, PortQry tries to resolve the IP address to a host name. This process may be time-consuming, especially if PortQry cannot resolve the IP address. When you specify the -nr parameter, PortQry does not look up the IP address to return the host name. Instead, PortQry queries the target ports immediately. The -nr parameter is ignored if you specify a host name together with the -n parameter.

Examples
portqry -n 192.168.22.21 -p udp -r 135:139 -l myserver.txt -s -nr

portqry -n 10.1.1.10 -p tcp -o 143,110,25 -s -nr

portqry -n 169.254.18.22 -p both -e 500 -s -nr
-q (quiet mode): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to cause PortQry to suppress all output to the screen except for error messages. This parameter is especially helpful when you configure PortQry for use in a batch file. Depending on the status of the port, this parameter returns the following outputs:
- 0 (zero) is returned if the target port is LISTENING.
- 1 is returned if the target port is NOT LISTENING.
- 2 is returned if the target port is LISTENING or FILTERED.
You can only use this parameter together with the -e parameter. You cannot use this parameter together with the -o parameter or together with the -r parameter. Additionally, you cannot use this parameter together with the -p parameter when you set the value of the -p parameter to Both.

Important When you use the -q parameter together with the -l (log file) parameter, PortQry overwrites an existing log file that has the same name without first prompting you for permission to do so.

Sample batch file
```
:Top
portqry -n 169.254.18.22 -e 135 -p tcp -q
if errorlevel = 2 goto filtered
if errorlevel = 1 goto failed
if errorlevel = 0 goto success
goto end

:filtered
Echo Port is listening or filtered
goto end

:failed
Echo Port is not listening
Goto end

:success
Echo Port is listening
goto end

:end
```
-cn (community name): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify a community string or community name to use when you send an SNMP query. With this parameter, you must enclose the community string with exclamation marks (!). This parameter is ignored if you do not query a port where SNMP is listening.

Examples
portqry -n myserver -p udp -e 161 -l myserver.txt -cn !snmp string!

portqry -n www.widgets.microsoft.com -p both -r 150:170 -sl -cn !my_snmp_community_name!
-sp (source port): This parameter is optional. Use this parameter to specify the initial source port to use when you connect to the specified TCP and UDP ports on the destination computer. This functionality is useful to help you test firewall or router rules that filter ports based on their source ports.

Example
portqry -p udp -e 53 - sp 3001 -n 192.168.1.20
In this example, PortQry uses UDP port 3001 on the local computer to send the query. Replies from this query go to UDP port 3001 on the local computer. PortQry cannot use the specified source port if another process already has bound to the port. In this scenario, PortQry returns the following error message:

Cannot use specified source port.

Port is already in use.

Specify a port that is not in use and run the command again.
PortQry uses the specified source port when it sends the initial query to the destination computer. PortQry also uses this specified source port if it tries to use protocols such as FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, DNS, SNMP, ISA Server, and other protocols to query the destination computer. There are only the following exceptions to this rule:
RPC (TCP and UDP ports 135)
LDAP (UDP port 389)
NetBIOS Adapter status query (UDP port 137)
Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) (UDP port 500)
In these exceptional cases, PortQry uses the specified source port for its initial query. When it tries to query the destination computer through one of the exceptional protocols, it queries the destination computer through an ephemeral source port. For example, if you specify the source port of 3000 when you query UDP port 389 (LDAP), PortQry uses UDP port 3000 if it is available for the initial UDP datagram that is sent to the LDAP port. When PortQry sends an LDAP query to the LDAP port, PortQry use an ephemeral port instead of the specified source port. (In this example, the specified source port is 3000). When PortQry uses an ephemeral port for specific queries, PortQry sends the following message:

Using ephemeral source port
With ISAKMP/IPSec, the IPSec policy agent may only send responses from queries back to UDP port 500. In this case, it is best for PortQry to use UDP port 500 as the source port for the query. If the IPSec policy agent is running on the computer where PortQry runs, UDP port 500 is unavailable because the policy agent is using the port. In this case, PortQry returns the following message:
Cannot use source port 500, this port is already in use. Remote ISAKMP/IPSec services may only communicate with source port 500.
Temporarily turn off the 'IPSEC Policy Agent' or the 'IPSEC Services' on the system you are running PortQry from and run the command again

example: net stop PolicyAgent
run Portqry to query ISAKMP

net start PolicyAgent

Additional features

PortQry version 2.0 includes the following new features:

PortQry interactive mode
PortQry local mode

PortQry interactive mode

With PortQry version 1.22, users can query ports from the command line in a command prompt window. When you troubleshoot connectivity issues between computers, you may have to type many repetitive commands. With PortQry version 2.0, you can run commands this way, but PortQry version 2.0 also has an interactive mode. The interactive mode is similar to the interactive functionality in the Nslookup DNS utility or in the Nblookup WINS utility.

To start PortQry in interactive mode, use the –i option. For example, type portqry -i. When you do so, you receive the following output:

Portqry Interactive Mode

Type 'help' for a list of commands

Default Node: 127.0.0.1

Current option values:
   end port=    80
   protocol=    TCP
   source port= 0 (ephemeral)
>

You can use other parameters together with the -i parameter to change the settings that PortQry uses. For example, you type a command that is similar to the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry -i -e 53 -n 192.168.1.20 -p both –sp 2030

You receive the following output:

Portqry Interactive Mode

Type 'help' for a list of commands

Default Node: 192.168.1.20

Current option values:
   end port=    53
   protocol=    BOTH
   source port= 2300

PortQry local mode

The PortQry local mode of operation is designed to give you detailed information about the TCP ports and the UDP ports on the local computer where PortQry runs. PortQry has the following three basic commands available in local mode:

portqry.exe -local When you run this command, PortQry tries to enumerate all the TCP and UDP port mappings that are currently active on the local computer. This output is similar to the output that the netstat.exe -an command generates.

On computers that support Process ID (PID) to port mappings, the output includes the process ID of the process that is using the port on the local computer. If the verbose option is used (-v), the output also includes the names of the services that the process ID belongs to and lists all the modules that the process has loaded. Access to some information is restricted. For example, access to module information for the Idle and CSRSS processes is prohibited because their access restrictions prevent user-level code from opening them. PortQry reports as much information as it can access for each process. For best results, run the Portqry -local command in the context of the local Administrator or an account that has similar credentials. The following example log file excerpt illustrates the level of reporting that you may receive when you run the Portqry -local command:

You can use this information to determine which ports are associated with a particular program or service that is running on the computer. In some cases, Portqry may report that the System Idle process (PID 0) is using some TCP ports. This behavior may occur if a local program connects to a TCP port, and then stops. The program’s TCP connection to the port may be left in a "Timed Wait" state even though the program is no longer running. In this case, Portqry may detect that the port is in use. However, Portqry cannot identify the program that is using the port because the program has stopped. The PID was released. The port may be in a "Timed Wait" state for several minutes even though the process that was using the port has stopped. By default, the port remains in a "Timed Wait" state for twice as long as the maximum segment lifetime.

portqry.exe -wport port_number (watch port): With the watch port command, PortQry can watch the specified port for changes. These changes may include an increase or decrease in the number of connections to the port or a change in the connection state of any one of the existing connections. For example, you type the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry -wport 53

As a result, PortQry watches TCP and UDP port 53. PortQry reports when any new TCP connections are made to this port. PortQry also reports one or more of the following state changes for the specified TCP port:

CLOSE_WAIT

CLOSED

ESTABLISHED

FIN_WAIT_1

LAST_ACK

LISTEN

SYN_RECEIVED

SYN_SEND

TIMED_WAIT

For example, if a connection's state changes from ESTABLISHED to CLOSE_WAIT, a change in state has occurred. When the port's state changes, PortQry displays the port's connection table. Portqry reports if a program is bound to the UDP port, but it does not report if the UDP port receives datagrams.

Optional parameters

-v (verbose): For additional state information, include the -v parameter in the PortQry command-line. When you use this parameter, PortQry also displays the modules that are using the ports. For example, type portqry.exe -wport 135 -v.
-wt (watch time): By default, PortQry checks for changes in the specified port's connection table one time every 60 seconds. To configure this interval, use the -wt parameter. For example, you type the following command, and then press ENTER:
portqry.exe -wport 135 -v -wt 2
As a result, PortQry checks TCP port 135 and UDP port 135 for changes every 2 seconds. You can specify a time interval from 1 to 1200 (inclusive). With this parameter, you can to watch for changes from every 1 second up to one time every 20 minutes.

-l (log file): To log the output from the watch port command, use the -l parameter. For example, you type the following command, and then press ENTER:

portqry.exe -wport 2203 -v -wt 30 -l test.txt

As a result, a log file that is similar to the following log file is generated:

Portqry Version 2.0 Log File

With the -wport command, you can watch a single port for changes, whereas with the -wpid command, you can watch all the ports that the specified PID is using for changes. A process may be using many ports, and PortQry watches all of them for changes.

Important When you use either the -wport command or the -wpid command together with the logging parameter (-l), you must press the ESC key to stop PortQry for PortQry to correctly close the log file and exit. If you press CTRL+C to stop PortQry instead of ESC, the log file does not close correctly. In this scenario, the log file may be empty or corrupted.
