0 users found this article helpful

PMM v7 and later:

  1. Open regedit.exe
  2. Navigate to the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Parallels\Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM\Sup
  1. Add DWORD parameter - HttpServerPort and assign it a decimal value of the desired port.
  2. Restart Parallels Software Update Service.

The change can be verified by restarting the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy service after the above procedure. The following entry should appear in pma_isv_proxy_service.log:

07-07 00:34:59.473 I /PsupLink:1400:dbc/ Software update catalog source url: 'http://hostname.domain.com:39321'

In this example, Proxy service got information from PSUP service about the static port that it is using. When Mac connects to Proxy next time, Proxy will provide this information to Mac Client so it will be able to download software update catalogs.

PMM v6.1 and earlier:

The port in question is essential to be accessible for Mac workstations in order to be able to get updates information.

  1. Open regedit.exe
  2. Navigate to the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pmm_sup_service\Parameters
  1. Add DWORD parameter - HttpServerPort and assign it a decimal value of the desired port.
  2. Restart Parallels Software Update Service.
