It's odd for a couple reasons.  First, why is 169.254 traffic even getting
routed to our 
external firewall.  This is probably something I need to discuss with our
network admin.  That 
just seems weird to me.  Second, if I am reading the alert correctly, it
looks like the 
computer is scanning itself for NetBIOS and SMB ports.  I was just
wondering if anyone else 
has seen anything like this.

Yes, the cause in my case was the roll-out of ActiveSync 4.x.
