I don't know whether or not there was anything posted by them stating
this, but to a significant degree this is still a Denial of Service.

The program can bring Active Directory to it's knees.

Hey Brian,

The Microsoft patch for the DCOM exploit doesn't actually fix the entire
issue. I have some C code I've run against windows 2000 machines with
all levels of Service Pack. The RPC service on each crashes with
svchost.exe failing, a Dr. Watson alert in the Eventlog, in addition to
what you just posted. All three of those are symptoms of an attack. 

I spoke with Microsoft regarding this last week and provided them with
source code to duplicate the issue - I have not heard an answer back.

We're maxed out on antivirus...I'm thinking it may be related to
823980's RPC exploit.  I have one Win2k SP2 user who just got 3 Event ID
7031's in the last 45 mins...other users are reporting this as well.

Details as we have them:

Event ID 4097: The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during
its internal processing.  HRESULT was 800706BA from line 42 of
.\eventsystemobj.cpp.  Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services
to report this error.

Event ID 7031:  The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated
unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective
action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: No action. 

Seems to have started around 3:30 EST.

Sounds like the recent DCOM exploit. 

Are you firewalled and patched (svchost.exe still crashes even if
patched)? If so, I'd be checking the integrity of the workstations. May
have a worm inside.
