SYMPTOMS

You may experience a "Stop 0x1E" error message when you change the domain password with the C2 security registry entry enabled. The problem occurs if you have Service Pack 6a (SP6a) installed and the following registry entry is set:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Value: EnhancedSecurityLevel (REG_DWORD)
Data: 1

This key ensures that Object Manager can change the attributes of a kernel object in the Object table for the current process if (and only if) the previous mode of the caller is kernel mode.

When you attempt to change the password after setting this registry value, you receive the following error message:
Stop 0x0000001e (0xc0000005, 0x8019bb12, 0x00000000, 0x0000022c)
