I've only had problems with pwdump crashing lsass on 2003 machines. The workaround is to toggle DEP & reboot the machine first. (I forget which option it is, but its not the default). Some versions of antivirus software might also be problematic.

I have been given the task of doing a password audit. No problem, except I can use pwdump for the slight risk of having to reboot a DC.I know there are many ways to get a pw dump from a DC but my question is this.What is the safest way to get that, so that you dont risk having a DC need to reboot or have to install software on the DC? In the past I have used pwdump, different versions, and usually i didnt have to reboot the box, but there was that rare occasion that that it made lsass puke and had to be rebooted. Thanks in advance for your input. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps?
