SYMPTOMS
If you change a user account and then perform a remote shutdown, the changes may not be retained when the computer restarts.



CAUSE
The Local Security Authority (LSA) process is not being notified of the system shutdown when the request comes from another computer. This causes the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) database not to be flushed.
