Server 2019 Domain Controllers: lsass.exe terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741819
Basically my issue matches https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/612097/windwos-2019-lsass-exe-terminated-unexpectedly-wit?source=docs exactly. We have Server 2019 DCs running on VMware vSphere 7.0 U3c. The non-PDC DCs are randomly rebooting with the below event log message: EventID : 1074 MachineName : DC19** Data : {} Index : 544467 Category : (0) EntryType : Information Message : The process wininit.exe has initiated the restart of computer DC19RP on behalf of user for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found Reason Code: 0x50006 Shutdown Type: restart Comment: The system process 'C:\Windows\system32\lsass.exe' terminated unexpectedly with status code -1073741819. The system will now shut down and restart. Source : User32 ReplacementStrings : {wininit.exe, DC19**, No title for this reason could be found, 0x50006...} InstanceId : 2147484722 TimeGenerated : 4/23/2023 5:07:58 AM TimeWritten : 4/23/2023 5:07:58 AM UserName : NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM The servers are all patched to the current CU - 2023-04 (KB5025229), so they should all have the most recent KB I've found that addresses lsass.exe crashes (KB5010791) installed. I've also noticed that shortly before the lsass.exe crash, there will be an event log similar to the one below, although each references a different WMI filter: EventID : 1065 MachineName : DC19** Data : {} Index : 544466 Category : (0) CategoryNumber : 0 EntryType : Error Message : The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not evaluate the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filter for the Group Policy object cn={***},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=fabrikam,DC=com. This could be caused by RSOP being disabled or Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service being disabled, stopped, or other WMI errors. Make sure the WMI service is started and the startup type is set to automatic. New Group Policy objects or settings will not process until this event has been resolved.
