This article was previously published under Q312320 SYMPTOMSUnder severe internal stress conditions, a user mode memory leak may occur in Lsass.exe. The Processes tab in Task Manager shows a marked increase in Lsass.exe memory usage.
CAUSE
This memory leak occurs only if the API NetrEnumerateTrustedDomains is called remotely from a client to a Windows 2000-based server.
This API returns the names of the domains that are trusted by the domain that the server belongs to. If a domain has trust relationships with many domains, and you try to enumerate those trusted domains, the memory leak occurs on the server that is running Lsass.exe.
