I've been having strange issue recently on one of my ISA's 2004 Std. It happens only on one of them and I can not get a clue what I'm doing wrong here, or if I am hacked???
There is no pattern, but from time to time, one ISA (they are both running on Win 2003 Std and ISA is with SP2) is trying to initiate VPN with unknown IPs, public ones. Sometimes it happens in timeframe of 10 days, but sometimes 2 times a day. Target IPs are spread throught the globe. Both modes (Main and Quick) of course failed, since I have no affiliations to these IPs whatsover and my ISA is initiating traffic. I have Site to Site tunnels from that ISA to 3 more remote sites and all looks OK, but this is really strange to me. I tried Google it, but no luck. Event ID is 547:
Here is an example:
IKE security association negotiation failed. Mode: Key Exchange Mode (Main Mode)
