Re: lsass. exe : When trying to update a password

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Do you know if the affected machines had been clean installations (using the
SBS CDs) or if they were installed using the pre-installed image provided by
Dell (going through what is also known as the 15-minute setup)?

Regards,
Damian
