Remote Procedure Call (RPC) dynamic port allocation is used by server applications and remote administration applications such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Manager, Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) Manager, and so on. RPC ports can be given from a specific range as well. How the connection worksĬlient A wants to execute some functions or wants to make use of a service running on the remote server, will first establish the connection with the Remote Server by doing a three-way handshake. This data is the payload, the important part.Ī lot of the above information is used in troubleshooting, the most important is the Dynamic RPC port number you get while talking to EPM. Stub data – the information given to functions and data exchanged between the client and server.Port – the communication endpoints for the client and server applications.If neither knows, your application vendor must tell you. It’s just a hexadecimal number, but a good network analyzer will translate the function for you. Opnum – the identifier of a function that the client wants the server to execute.The UUID is what you use to see a specific kind of RPC application conversation, as there are likely to be many. UUID – a well-known GUID that identifies the RPC application.Floor – the contents of a tower with specific data like ports, IP addresses, and identifiers.Tower – describes the RPC protocol, to allow the client and server to negotiate a connection.Endpoint mapper – a service listening on the server, which guides client apps to server apps by port and UUID.There are a few important terms to understand: This message is a commonly encountered error message in the networking world and one can lose hope fast without trying to understand much, as to what is happening ‘under the hood’.īefore getting in to troubleshooting the *RPC server unavailable- error, let’s first understand basics about the error. The following image is an example of an RPC error.

You might encounter an RPC server unavailable error when connecting to Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), SQL Server, during a remote connection, or for some Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins.
