Reply: It's a subdomain created to register Microsoft specific services. Since Microsoft has used standard technologies that others use such as DNS and LDAP, this allows a computer to query DNS for a Microsoft specific implementation of the service. For example, if you wanted to log on to a Windows domain, you need to contact a Windows domain controller. Domain controllers use LDAP to query AD for the account during logging in. This is how Windows clients ensure when they query for LDAP servers in the domain looking for a domain controller, they actually get a Windows DC, not some Linux LDAP server. The Linux LDAP server would be listed in the regular domain, not this special subdomain. Good question though! "Barbara Streisand hasn't ruined the culture since Yentl."
