SYMPTOMS
About half the close audit entries in the security log display the same constant value for handle identification numbers (IDs), even though those handle IDs are supposed to match the open audit routine handle IDs which vary.

NOTE: You can still follow the audit trail in the Security log and find a corresponding open audit entry for each close audit entry, but the handle IDs in the close audit entries will be wrong.



CAUSE
The service controller handle ID passing routine does not always correctly pass along the handle IDs.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to Windows NT version 3.51.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
