The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX, version 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Changing a password for a user account for a Services for UNIX (SFU) user may
cause CPU usage for the Local Security Authority Server service (LSASS) to go to
98 percent for some time. You can see the CPU usage for this process on the
Processes tab in Windows Task Manager.
CAUSE
=====
This issue occurs because the Network Information service (NIS) process
(Nissvc.exe) makes many Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) requests to
rebuild the UNIX files in the following folder:
%Homedrive%\SFU\Nis\MapCache\<Domainname>
