RDP protocol component error message 2 days in a row on multiple systems

[Revision]

I have seen the following error message on multiple systems 2 days in
a row:

"The RDP protocol component X.224 detected an error in the protocol
stream and has disconnected the client"

I've seen the KB articles relating to this message and believe that
it's the result of someone scanning for an RDP vulnerability.

Has anyone else seen this error message lately?

Thanks,

Is the server Windows 2000? If yes, what service pack

It looks like this was fixed in SP3

Jason, I have also had a similar rash (on all boxes in the subnet) of
these errors so it definitely has the appearance of a scan. I would
guess Password harvester except I don't know how that would generate
an error - since Term Srvcs doesn't log (does it??) no way of knowing
that kind of activity. You seem to imply that you have seen KB info
re: RDP scanning - can you post that information, thanks. I have not
found anything on this topic other than your post.
