SYMPTOMS
You can use the Dumpel utility, available in the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit, to write out the contents of the Windows NT Event logs to a standard ASCII text file. However, it might fail with one of the following errors:

 DrWatson log after generating an Access Violation.  Display a pop-up dialog with the following error message:

LookupAccountSid failed with 1332.



CAUSE
The Access Violation might be caused by an improperly formatted Date/Time string in the Event log.

The LookupAccountSid failure is caused by a SID not mapping correctly to a valid username.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
