297125 2004-11-28 03:06:00 Why not delete the file and reboot? If that does the trick then you have found the answer. If you want to put the file back just restore from recycle bin. Berryb (654)
297126 2004-11-28 03:09:00 No!

lsass.exe found in windows\system32 (or winnt\system32) is a Windows file (Local Security Authentication Server). Don't delete it.

Did you used to work at MANCO?

2k can run up to 2 instances of ls, AT ONCE.

Caution they are needed, but can be pirated/trojaned so must be checked carefully.

If you google and M/S carefully, there are severall articles on this.
