SYMPTOMS

When a Windows 2000-based domain controller starts, Lsass.exe may generate an access violation when the schema for the Active Directory loads.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when Windows 2000 calls the SearchPerformanceLogFilterHelper routine and attempts to perform a Strlen function on a NULL string.
