MSSQL 2016: The Service Broker/Database Mirroring transport cannot listen on port because it is in use

Microsoft.SQLServer.2016.The_Service_Broker_Database_Mirroring_transport_cannot_listen_on_port_because_it_is_in_use_5_Rule (Rule)

When you create a Service Broker or Database Mirroring endpoint, SQL Server should be able to accept TCP/IP connections on the port that is specified in the endpoint configuration. The transport security requires authorization for connections to the port. If the server has a firewall enabled, the firewall configuration must allow both incoming and outgoing connections for the port that is used by the endpoint.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

In this case, specified port is not available because it is in use.

Causes

Another program on the computer is using the TCP port indicated. The Windows application log specifies whether the error was logged by Service Broker or Database Mirroring. This message is logged in the Windows application log as MSSQLSERVER event ID 9692.

Resolutions

Run netstat -aon from the command prompt to determine what program is using the port.

You can disable the application that is using the port or you can specify a different port in the Service Broker application.
