SYMPTOMS
You may receive a Dr. Watson error message in Lsass.exe on a Windows 2000-based server in a Microsoft Windows 2000-based domain.
CAUSE
There is a problem in Lsass.exe performing security ID (SID) to name lookups in a Windows 2000-based domain which causes heap corruption. The problem occurs in some circumstances when a deleted domain SID is the first in a list of permissions or local groups on a member server and there is an Lsa Lookup SID to Name request to the Windows 2000 Domain Controller and the SID no longer exists in the Domain.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
