Monday, July 29, 2002 at 1:09 pm Posted by Brian (4 messages posted) I have had some progress with this problem. Basically, if you do a parrell install of W2K, you can then copy the contents of c:\winnt\repair folder to c:\winnt\system32\config (after deleting the contents of the config folder). Then you can boot into the original installation and access any data a user may have had on the hard drive. Unfortuanetly, the computers still need to be reimaged after this process is done. Hope this helps you out. Let me know if I can give you anymore detailed information. On Sunday, July 28, 2002 at 4:43 pm, John wrote: >Let me know if you find a cure.

Wednesday, July 31, 2002 at 10:08 am Posted by Jim (1 messages posted) We ran int othe same problem here is what we did to fix it. Boot into Safe Mode. Create a emergancy repair disk and when asked include the registery. Using your install cd boot up and choose repair. when asked choose the option to use emergancy rocover disk choose fast repair. If this works you will have to install some of your applications but you will see what Im talking about.

Whatever option you try to boot into would just cause the machine to reboot. This may be due to an option that is checked off under My Computer\Properties\advanced\startup and recovery..... "automatically reboot" under the "system failure" section. I believed this was checked when our images were made. Thanks again for your reply, Brian [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: LSASS.EXE error at startup, before logon screen. Friday, August 23, 2002 at 5:27 am Posted by Richard (1 messages posted) Hi, Just my two pence worth ... As with Jim, I have found that with a bootable 2000 cd, and booting from this (You don't need an emergency repair disk) you will be presented with install/repair options. If you choose fast repair, it installs files as necesaary and reboots. On this startup, I have to choose F8 Advanced options and Last known good profile ... Has worked twice now, so hopefully fairly robust. As an aside, the disk is always accessable if placed in another pc, so all should not be lost for the user - just your time !! Cheers, Rich.

Monday, March 17, 2003 at 7:30 pm Posted by Filemón Sierra (1 messages posted) i found next tip from http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBK/tip5400/rh5456.htm 5456 » 'The system process LSASS.EXE terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741571'? You receive: The system process LSASS.EXE terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741571. The system will now shut down and restart. If you restart in Safe Mode, you may receive a message similar to: Svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log will be created. This behavior is symptomatic of a corrupted Winsock2 registry key. To fix the problem: 1. Open a CMD prompt. 2. using REG.EXE on Windows 2000, from the Windows 2000 Support Tools, or REG.EXE built into Windows XP, Copy / Paste each of the following lines into the CMD Window and execute it: REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2 /f REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WinSock2 /f REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\WinSock2 /f REG DELETE HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Services\WinSock2 /f NOTE: You may receive a 'not found' error on one or more of these commands. 3.

Friday, April 4, 2003 at 3:10 pm Posted by Sam (7 messages posted) I've got an easier solution... create a simple boot floppy, and boot up with it (I used a Win98 boot floppy). Copy the advapi32.dll onto another diskette. Once you boot up. Swap disks... and copy the advapi32.dll file into c:\winnt\system32 Remove floppy... and reboot. Everything should come up roses. It worked for me. --sam On Friday, April 4, 2003 at 8:47 am, Sam wrote: >I found this article on the MS website... > >http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;301684 > >I hope it helps... >--sam > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: LSASS.EXE error at startup, before logon screen. Saturday, April 5, 2003 at 1:29 am Posted by dom (1 messages posted) Hello, I got the same problem (1st time) and i got windows xp (built-in). a pop-up at the start says "This application has failed to start because comctl32.dll was not found" talking about lsass.exe. I dont know much about computers so i couldt solve this with any suggestions you made. is it possible to solve this with the system recovery cd? and how do you open the CMD prompt at the beginning with safe mode?

Thursday, May 22, 2003 at 9:19 am Posted by Andy (1 messages posted) Are all of these fixes in regards to certain machines not being able to log on to the server? I have several systems that get that LSASS error when I have them set to connect to the DOMAIN on the server. My temp fix has been to set them up to connect to a WORKGROUP on the server but I really need to get it fixed right. I will try some of these fixes and hope they work. Thing is, other machines work fine. I assume I have to apply these fixes to the server or do I need to apply them to the workstations?
