Hi,

 

We have recently built Applications Manager on a Windows 2008 SP2 32Bit host.

 

We are concerned about the high CPU utilization that is occuring on the machine which appears to be coming from a process called lsass.exe. The machine is only running Applications Manager and we believe that AppMan may in some way be the cause and/or the originator.

 

The lsass.exe is documented as being "the Local Security Authentication Server. It verifies the validity of user logons to your PC or server. Lsass generates the process responsible for authenticating users for the Winlogon service. This is performed by using authentication packages such as the default, Msgina.dll. If authentication is successful, Lsass generates the user's access token, which is used to launch the initial shell. Other processes that the user initiates then inherit this token."

 

Have you had any involvement with this or come across this issue before? Can you help? Thanks.

 

James.
