SYMPTOMS

A failure may occur on systems that have Service Pack 3, the LSA2 fix installed, and have one or more services configured to run under a user account other than the local system account. The failure occurs when the service or services connect to a NetWare server. The type of failure and the effect of the failure is dependent upon the service.

The cc:Mail Connector service supplied with Microsoft Exchange Server is normally configured to run under an account other than local system and, when the import or export function connects to a NetWare server, the connection fails with a return code status of 3. This status is logged in the event log as either event 61 or 70.

NOTE: This problem does not occur on systems without the LSA2 fix installed. This hotfix should not be installed unless the LSA2 fix is installed. For information regarding the LSA2 fix for Windows NT, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
