   I just checked three different Windows Server 2003 and none are =
listening on UDP port 445.  I don't know what is different between your =

  I just ran
  netstat -ano | find ":445"
  on a Windows Server 2003.

  Output showed:
    TCP    0.0.0.0:445     0.0.0.0:0        LISTENING       4
    UDP    0.0.0.0:445     *:*                              4
  so it appears that 445/udp is in use (and by the same process as
  445/tcp, namely System).
