I have around 6000 SIDs in the ‘badsinv’ folder on my site server. Any ideas on how to find out what is going on?

You could use the script below to find out the range of machines that may be generating these, to look to see if there is a pattern to the machines or if spread "all over" it would be more of a site problem somehow.
