Scott,  

... A few thoughts, after which you can say "I did
that already!"

A) files associated w/ trojans
      1>  As you mentioned Enscripts, I gather you own
EnCase.  I
would suggest exporting out the
              victim drive and scanning with an enterprise AV
scanner.
      2>  Perform a thorough timeline analysis around any
.exe, .com,
.scr, or .pif files identified by AV.
      3>  A complete file signature / named extension
review to look
for files that aren't what they say they are.

B) files changed / updated....
      1>  Turn ALL security event logs up to max.  If
it's a
server-class and the logs are rolling, use something
              like "dumpsec.exe" to ship the logs off-box. 
Focus on
"file and object access", and "process tracking"
              if you can handle the event rate.
      1>  Suspicions regarding trojans and backdoors for
which you do
not have an AV sig are best
              hunted on the wire, searching   for listening ports
or
RFC protocol violations.
      2>  The specific program MS Terminal Sevices Client
(mstsc.exe,
aka Remote Desktop) when launched from
              the aggressor will connect with rdp.exe on the
victim.
Standard C:\Documents and Settings entries
              should occur, primarily the user registry hive in
the
hidden file, ntuser.dat.

As I said, you may have done all of these....  and I
need to turn my
focus back to a project.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

For windows 2000 & XP:

Has anyone seen any tools that will identify, in an
image, files
associated with Trojans? ( EnScripts or other tools?
)

And

Are any files changed / updated / connections logged
when remote desktop
( Windows ) is used to access a machine remotely?
