Why is MS listening

Dear Group,

I am wondering about several lines in the return to a netstat -a command on my pc!

They show that microsoft is listening. Is this legitimate and which program is served by these connections?

TCP x-xxxxxxxxxxx:microsoft-ds g-xxxxxxxxxxx:0 LISTENING UDP x-xxxxxxxxxxx:microsoft-ds *:*

There are two more lines which I do not know what they could refer to UDP x-almjf4iscdqrx:isakmp *:* UDP x-almjf4iscdqrx::4500 *:*

What do they refer to?

I dont know whether it is worth is, but I changed by PC name to all xs.

Is there a document which explains the meaning of these lines?

Thanks for any helpful replies.

GR.
