Why not look for the default shared directory's on all Exchange servers. Address seems to be there as a visible share on 5.5 and 2000 servers. As for how you limit your scan to just servers I'm not sure but a scan of all IP addresses on the suspect network shouldn't take to long.
However what use is an email server if you refuse to accept connections from it and block all email to and from it (BOFH rules!) If you do this then they will have to talk to you before putting real users on this server.

I have someone who wants to see if a user/admin at another location is setting up email without his knowledge. I was thinking maybe use RPC-ping, but having never used it, I'm not sure if that would work or not, since he doesn't know ip address or name. Anyone have a good way? Network sniffer, scanning for SMTP traffic? This might work..but I think he wants to catch the server before it gets to that stage. Thanks!
