Change the Remote Desktop Connection port

We use Remote Desktop Connection aka Terminal Services to manage servers.
With the recent RDP weaknesses, there has been lot more port scanning for 3389, so we’re going to change the listening port.
Change the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
If you don’t know how to do this, don’t.
Connect to the machine using:
computername:newportnumber ( wes.com:1234 )
