I had a similar problem with the lsass.exe with SP2 and an invalid entry for replication. There is a Q article that states that replication could be set prior to SP2 with a valid number, however with SP2, this valid range is smaller and the system give a similar error and reboots. Try finding the Q article, find the replication value and modify it.
Use NTDSUTIL to transfer any FSMO roles off the server prior to taking the server offline. Next take the server off-line. Then run NTDSUTIL on one of the remaining servers, run metadata cleanup to remove the server. Let replication occur to all servers. Then reinstall the server and run DCPROMO again. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 3:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] Removing AD / Lsass.exe error Hi Rob Sorry, no great ideas on your lsass.exe problem. An option might be to re-open your old incident with PSS and talk to them about it. With regard to your related question, I don't think your plan would work, because you would end up with a different GUID for the server. It would be better to take the machine offline, rebuild and follow the procedure outlined in "Removing Active Directory Data After an Unsuccessful Demotion [Q216498]". Tony ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2002 23:52:54 +0000 Arghhhh! Why does my pain never end! I want to remove AD from a DC. Every time I run DCpromo an error msg box pops up and displays :- The system process lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741819. The system will now shut down and restart. The problem only occurs when I go to dcpromo the machine so no Technet articles seem to be relevant. I have had this problem before and ran a patch suggested in a Technet article which I had to obtain directly from MSoft. Of course when I ran the patch the machine blue screened on reboot and was never to be seen again. I don't want to be in this situation again so was just seeing if anyone else had seen this before? and resolved it? A question relating: If I just accept the machine will not demote, and I just rebuild it, and then run DCPROMO will the machine just pick up more/less where it left off?
