SYMPTOMS
On a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based domain controller, the Lsass.exe process experiences performance problems. The Lsass.exe process may even crash. In this situation, the domain controller automatically restarts.

Note Additionally, various domain controllers in a domain may crash and then restart for no obvious reason.



CAUSE
This issue occurs when there is a domain controller in a domain that uses the same name as a domain controller in a different trusted domain.

Note This trust relationship may be either a parent-child trust in a forest or a domain-domain trust.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, rename one of the two domain controllers.

Note It is generally easier is to rename the domain controller in the local domain.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
