Hello,  

 

We have recently set up an IDS (Intrusion Detection) system on our network
and are seeing a large amount of ICMP traffic (pings) traveling from all
client workstations to our two Domain Controllers, that are also running
DNS.  We are a mixed mode domain.  I was just wondering if anybody knew if
it is normal for a client workstation to contact a domain controller at
regular intervals via ping/ICMP or not?  Why does this happen/is this
something that I should worry about?  

 

Thanks,
