    I can confirm that this port is open on a default installation of .NET
    Standard Server.

    Any W2K or later OS from Microsoft (except maybe .NET server) installs
    with that port open.
    It's not specific to XP.  It was added to W2K as a NetBIOS -135/139
    replacement.

    The burden of proof is not satisfied by a lack of evidence to the
    contrary..

    I didn't know any, but this might be something to consider, if nothing
