Ok so the subject may be a little inflammatory, but 5 of these scans over the past couple days and I have logs going back to months with many more. This particular ip is in hosts.deny now and any more and I think I should just place the entire microsoft.com domain in there as well. Just seems a little strange and too consistent.
