Windows 2000 - strange Ports Listening

[Henry]

Hi

I notice that there're a lot of strange high ports
listening on my Windows 2000 servers. When compared with
the port list from IANA it doesn't make sense because I
don't have those applications installed. Does Windows
randomly select high ports to listen? Or are they opened
by some Trojan horses?

BTW, the servers are quite up-to-date with anti-virus and
hotfixes.

The listening ports include (sorry for the long list):

1026, 1029, 1031, 1032, 1034, 1041, 1045, 1047, 1049,
1058, 1061, 1062, 1063, 1064, 1066, 1067, 1074, 1077,
1078, 1082, 1084, 1085, 1086, 1090, 1091, 1092, 1093,
1094, 1095, 1098, 1100, 1104, 1108, 1111, 1114, 1115,
1116, 1117, 1118, 1119, 1122, 1123, 1127, 1128, 1129,
1133, 1134, 1135, 1137, 1138, 1157, 1158, 1163, 1164,
1165, 1166, 1168, 1169, 1172, 1174, 1175, 1177, 1184,
1201, 1219, 1231, 1298, 1301, 1303, 1317, 1347, 1393,
1394, 1397, 1399, 1401, 1402, 1405, 1408, 1410, 1412,
1414, 1415, 1416, 1417, 1419, 1421, 1423, 1430, 1432,
1433, 1434, 1436, 1438, 1440, 1444, 1445, 1446, 1587,
1684, 1685, 1688, 1696, 1697, 1698, 1699, 1700, 1723,
3268, 3269, 3372

Thanks for taking time to go through my message. I hope
someone can help me with this issue.

Download, installl and run tcpview from www.sysinternals.com and it will
help identify the application(s) opening these ports.
