RE: Windows XP Services and Descriptions

Here is a list of services and ports used to communicate with CalNetAD. The
settings are not specific to Active Directory and apply to most Windows
client/server traffic.
<http://calnetad.berkeley.edu/documentation/security/firewall_config.html>

The NetBIOS services and ports are only needed if communicating with
pre-Windows 2000 machines.

<http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm> also has a guide for
Windows XP services.

Subject: [Micronet] Windows XP Services and Descriptions
Yesterday at Micronet meeting there was mention of a desire for a web page
that lists what windows services are safe to turn off. I found a page that
describes what Windows services are on by default, what they do, and what
their dependencies are. It also has a recommendations on what's probably
safe to turn off.
In addition to the web page, there's also a downloadable zipped PDF that
contains all this information (64pages).

If anyone has any options or some better links, please post. Maybe this
can be included on the sns's best pratices site if people find it useful.
