RE: [ActiveDir] lsass.exe hogs my domain controller cpu

[Jorge de Almeida Pinto]

Sorry, tried to help in a "very quick and dirty way". ;-))   I agree that researching is always better than guessing!   On the other side please tell if I've thrown the correct KB article so I can start running to buy a lotto ticket... ;-))   Jorge From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fleischman Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 14:49 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] lsass.exe hogs my domain controller cpu Jorge, the problem with throwing a KB at it is that there are hundreds…..probably thousands…..of things that could cause this. With the data provided, it is nearly impossible to effectively diagnose the problem. This KB could be it, and if it is, I suggest you go out and buy a lotto ticket immediately. :)   This is my standard action plan I use for high lsass/dsamain utilization cases: 0)       During the problem state please collect 3-5 dumps of lsass using adplus as follows: adplus –Hang –p 123 –o c:\dumps (instead of 123 use the PID of lsass please) 1)       During the problem please collect a network trace with a duration of at least 2 minutes in length 2)       If on 2k3, collect >=5 minutes worth of SPA data. Set SPA to data only mode, and just zip up the transfer directory. We can compile it after.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jorge de Almeida Pinto Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 1:28 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] lsass.exe hogs my domain controller cpu   See the following if it applies: http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=842382 Jorge   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sharif Naser Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 08:22 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] lsass.exe hogs my domain controller cpu Hello experts,   Lsass.exe hogs my domain controllers cpu (99%), what could be the reason for this, how do I get rid off this problem.   Machine was started twice but the problem still persists.
