An odd thing happened yesterday. I received a Remote Assistance invitation from a colleague and he received one from me. What is odd is that he did not send it. Nor did I send one. In the past we have both sent and received invitations to each other.
I checked the IPs in the email header and it came from his computer through the expected channels. I realize that he could have a virus but the fact that we both sent invitations to each other within minutes seems odd.
I checked the IP listed in Invitation.msrcincident and it appears to be a LAN IP as it starts with a 10. Even if I click on it it was not going to connect to anything.
Anyone have any ideas? I suspect it is a glitch in the Remote Assistance service where any unsent invitations are automatically send after a set time. Sort of like re-dial. We had been testing the functionality a few months back. In fact, I have an expired invitation in the queue right now. It expired May 8th. That must be it.
