Schannel error 70 on Exchange CAS and Mailbox servers
I noticed that my Exchange CAS and mailbox servers (running Exchange 2010 on Windows server 2008 R2) are filled with Schannel Event ID: 36887 errors (The following fatal alert was received: 70). I've read that these might be the cause of SSL errors; however, I've installed and run WireShark but don't see any SSL related errors. In the event log, the errors occur consistently at equal intervals every minute. Any ideas on what could be the cause of these errors? Here's a sample of one of the errors:

The user ID of S-1-5-18 corresponds to a local system account, and the process ID of 736 points to SamSs (security Accounts Manager).
The user ID listed is a local system account, which narrows down the devices. Using wireshark, I was able to find the culprit searching for all traffic instead of just SSL.
