Should you expect ESET to scan the system's local subnet over 445?

[Guest Vogel]

A system on our network is scanning its local /24 subnet over 445 and trying to connect to some external addresses over 445 as well. The responsible process is ekrn.exe, part of ESET. Should I expect this type of behavior? If so, how can we stop it?

Unfortunately you have posted as a guest in the Quick forum so we don't know what ESET product you use. Are you referring to a network scan by Network Inspector in ESET Internet Security or ESET Smart Security Premium?
