When you use resource management software on a multiprocessor computer that is running Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, the operation may fail (917068)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP1, when used with:
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
    • Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition

SYMPTOMS

You are using a multiprocessor computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1). When you use resource management software that allocates CPU resources to applications or to authentication services, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the operation may fail.

This problem occurs when you try to modify the IdealProcessor property of a given thread by using resource management software.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Secure32.dll file is stuck in an exclusive acquire operation for a resource that has already been acquired for shared access and has been abandoned. The abandoning thread has released the wrong resource because of the change in the IdealProcessor property.
