RE: [ActiveDir] DC crashing / LSASS --> memory leak

[Roger Longden]

Assuming you have a Premier support agreement I suggest calling PSS and/or your TAM.  I’d be curious if you see the same issue with the DC unplugged from the network.  In other words, I’d suspect malicious activity (could be viral/worms/Trojans) as a prime candidate.  I don’t recall seeing many memory leaks in lsass.exe in 2000 SP4.   - Roger   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lucas, Bryan Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 2:50 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] DC crashing / LSASS --> memory leak   I’ve got a Win2000 SP4 box that I believe has LSASS crashing leading to a huge run on memory causing the system to page and yield a Virtual Memory is too low… type error and all access to the server is cutoff essentially (other than local logon).   After rebooting twice and watching TaskMgr, I see LSASS spike for about 4-8 seconds, then flatline and memory starts going nuts.  The box becomes extremely unresponsive.  I’m rebooting to safe mode now to review the logs, but in the mean time does anyone have any ideas?   The box has been fairly stable for a long time now.   Bryan Lucas Server Administrator Texas Christian University
