find process that is blocking a port on windows - windows

Question

I am trying to connect remote mssql server, but something on my machine is blocking the required 1433 port.
How to find what process/program is blocking outgoing traffic on that port.
All firewall/antiviruses are disabled.

Answer 1

From the command line:
netstat -a -b
..will show you which exe 'owns' a port.
In PowerShell, Get-NetworkStatistics:
#dot source the script (or add to your profile or a custom module):
. "\\path\to\Get-NetworkStatistics.ps1"
#Run Get-NetworkStatistics against exampleComputer, format results in an autosized table
Get-NetworkStatistics -computername exampleComputer | Format-Table -autosize
#Get help on Get-NetworkStatistics
Get-Help Get-NetworkStatistics -Full
#Run get-networkstatistics against k-it-thin-02. Show only results for the Chrome process. If possible, show host names rather than IP addresses. Format in a table.
Get-NetworkStatistics chrome -computername k-it-thin-02 -ShowHostNames | Format-Table
#Get all processes in the listening state using TCP
Get-NetworkStatistics -State LISTENING -Protocol tcp
Code for Get-NetworkStatistics.ps1 below:
function Get-NetworkStatistics {

.SYNOPSIS
Display current TCP/IP connections for local or remote system
.FUNCTIONALITY
Computers
.DESCRIPTION
Display current TCP/IP connections for local or remote system. Includes the process ID (PID) and process name for each connection.
If the port is not yet established, the port number is shown as an asterisk (*).
.PARAMETER ProcessName
Gets connections by the name of the process. The default value is '*'.
.PARAMETER Port
The port number of the local computer or remote computer. The default value is '*'.
.PARAMETER Address
Gets connections by the IP address of the connection, local or remote. Wildcard is supported. The default value is '*'.
.PARAMETER Protocol
The name of the protocol (TCP or UDP). The default value is '*' (all)
.PARAMETER State
Indicates the state of a TCP connection. The possible states are as follows:
Closed - The TCP connection is closed.
Close_Wait - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for a connection termination request from the local user.
Closing - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for an acknowledgement of the connection termination request sent previously.
Delete_Tcb - The transmission control buffer (TCB) for the TCP connection is being deleted.
Established - The TCP handshake is complete. The connection has been established and data can be sent.
Fin_Wait_1 - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for a connection termination request from the remote endpoint or for an acknowledgement of the connection termination request sent previously.
Fin_Wait_2 - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for a connection termination request from the remote endpoint.
Last_Ack - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for the final acknowledgement of the connection termination request sent previously.
Listen - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is listening for a connection request from any remote endpoint.
Syn_Received - The local endpoint of the TCP connection has sent and received a connection request and is waiting for an acknowledgment.
Syn_Sent - The local endpoint of the TCP connection has sent the remote endpoint a segment header with the synchronize (SYN) control bit set and is waiting for a matching connection request.
Time_Wait - The local endpoint of the TCP connection is waiting for enough time to pass to ensure that the remote endpoint received the acknowledgement of its connection termination request.
Unknown - The TCP connection state is unknown.
Values are based on the TcpState Enumeration:

.PARAMETER ComputerName
If defined, run this command on a remote system via WMI. \\computername\c$\netstat.txt is created on that system and the results returned here
.PARAMETER ShowHostNames
If specified, will attempt to resolve local and remote addresses.
.PARAMETER tempFile
Temporary file to store results on remote system. Must be relative to remote system (not a file share). Default is "C:\netstat.txt"
.PARAMETER AddressFamily
Filter by IP Address family: IPv4, IPv6, or the default, * (both).
If specified, we display any result where both the localaddress and the remoteaddress is in the address family.
