"Invalid Access Memory Location (998)" error message when a 32-bit application calls the LsaLogonUser function on a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2003 (833620)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 64-Bit Enterprise Edition

SYMPTOMS

When a 32-bit application runs on a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and the application calls the LsaLogonUser function to authenticate the logon data of a security principal by using stored credentials information, the function may return the following error:
Invalid Access Memory Location (998)

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the LocalGroups input parameter is specified in the LsaLogonUser function in the 32-bit application. The "Invalid Access" error occurs because the 32-bit structure that is used in the function is not correctly handled in the 64-bit environment.
