The value ReservedPorts in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters contains a list of port ranges to reserve so the system won't assign them to programs dynamically.
Will the value be understood if it contains overlapping ranges?
4000-5000
4500-5500
6000-7000
I am trying to add ports to the list of reserved ports during an installation and am wondering whether I can just add my new range or whether I have to expand the existing ranges and see if my range overlaps with one of them and then extend the overlapped range instead of just adding my new range.
