Our Univeersity recently had a number of machines infected with the
Win32.Lokkest virus and other variants. While no machines that were infected
attach to our servers directly they spewed out traffic to everyone. We still
have machine left to be cleaned on campus, but since that infection started
our Windows 2003 servers systems (which are fully patched) have recorded the
following event in the log:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Srv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2000
Date: 1/10/2007
Time: 9:55:26 PM
User: N/A
Computer: WWW1
Description:
The server's call to a system service failed unexpectedly.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Data:
0000: 00040000 00540001 00000000 c00007d0
0010: 00000000 80090302 00000000 00000000
0020: 00000000 00000000 15e6032c

What is going on and how do we stop it, so far we can't see any adverse
effects on the server, but we are concerned.

thanks,

Dave,

Thanks for the attempt, but the article you referenced is titled Event 2000
Occurs When You Print to a Shared Printer. This just started on machines that
have been running for 2-3 years. In fact I can tie the events into the
outbreak of the Lokkest (Symantec Title) virus, I am just not sure what
caused the events in the first place.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
mitch

Sorry, I missed the part about the virus. The machines can no longer be
trusted. Flatten and rebuild.

Dave,

Wow. Flatten and rebuild. The servers were not infected as far as we know,
just other machines around campus that don't directly connect. It seems to
have something to do with the traffic that the systems saw on the network.
There are 11 servers in just my department that have these events in the
event log and others on campus. The are not members of the same domain and in
fact none of the systems share any ties. They are all independent.

According to everything I can find about the virus that hit our campus the
virus tries to attack systems with the following The Microsoft Windows Server
Service Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (as described in Microsoft
Security Bulletin MS06-040). The systems are patched, but could something
else be getting through?

thanks,
mitch
