Dirk

Hello,

I have a Windows 2000 SP4 DC.
I don't know why, but from time to time the CPU is near to 100% for
lsass.exe.

I found several articles for Windows 2000 SP1 or SP2.

But what causes this high CPU usages of lsass in Windows 2000 SP4?

Any ideas.
Thanks in advance
Dirk
 
How many users do you have ?
lsass is used on dc to authenticate ad users & co.

In this subdomain we have nearly 3000 userids.
This server is DNS Server, too.
Memory 784MB.

Hi Dirk,

One of these articles may help you as they all refer to your lsass high cpu
symptom. Unfortunately while they do refer to Windows 2000 Server they do
not mention what SP level they apply to.

Check out this, which is how to troubleshoot high CPU on Win2k. Also
