It's odd for a couple reasons. First, why is 169.254 traffic even getting
routed to our
external firewall. This is probably something I need to discuss with our
network admin. That
just seems weird to me. Second, if I am reading the alert correctly, it
looks like the
computer is scanning itself for NetBIOS and SMB ports. I was just
wondering if anyone else
has seen anything like this.
Yes, the cause in my case was the roll-out of ActiveSync 4.x.
