I'm looking for documentation that links services to ports for security
reasons. This is coming for a *nix guy whose only been able to
piecemeal/guess-n-check listening & open ports with several netstat tests.
One test crippled AD because I had disabled one too many services! (luckily
it was a test server).

Something like /etc/services for Windows would be grande ... :)

Service overview and network port requirements for the Windows Server
system - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832017

That should give a good start.

wow. That is impressive. At the same time, it's still missing the practical
services that enabled AD itself. Perhaps AD dependencies are still
(intentionally) secret? :)

Here's my amateur list; disabling these broke a test domain controller:

DFS
DNS Client
DNS Server
FRS
Kerebos KDC
Netlogon
NTLM
RPC
RPC Locator
SAM
NetBIOS Helper

The last one is odd to me; I couldn't even successfully disable NetBIOS on
the interface without causing additional problems. I had thought native AD
replaced the old NBT/WINS requirements ...

Any explicit list of AD related services would supplement the ports list.
