I am trying to install SharePoint 2013 on one server and then have the SQL server for SharePoint reside on a different server. I have statically configured the port for the SQL server instance, I have created a Windows Firewall exception for the browser service and for the SQL instance, and while Windows Firewall is turned on I am not able to get a connection. However, when I turn off Windows Firewall, the connection goes through just fine. Here are the points for the configuration that I have set thus far:
- Windows Firewall - Configured and access rule to ports 1433-1434 with limitation to the local IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6) that are on the subnet that is used for communications between SQL Servers and the SharePoint server
- Windows Firewall - Configured and access rule to ports 20100-20199 with limitation to the local IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6) that are on the subnet that is used for communications between SQL Servers and the SharePoint server
- SQL Server Instance - Configured TCP/IP port to be 20102 and then enabled the IP addresses for the above mentioned subnet for SQL communications
- Windows Server - Configured the HOSTS files with the IP addresses of the server that hosts SQL to be on that subnet (both IPv4 & IPv6)
I am having the SQL traffic segmented for security. As I said before, when Windows Firewall is off on the SQL servers, everything continues perfectly, but when turned on nothing gets through. Any ideas?
