Hi,
As of my opinion Microsoft didn't do any modifications related to ports in CRM2011 version.
So CRM 4.0 Version Firewall Settings/Connectivity requirements suits for CRM2011 version as well.

Hi everyone,
thx for the answers so far. Its true that the main ports have not changed for MSCRM 2011. But in MSCRM 2011 you have the ADFS environment for IFD Authentification which is more complicated than IFD was in 4.0.
So therefore im looking for a Guide which describes the communication between MSCRM-application Server, SQL-Server and ADFS.
