Err Msg: The LsaCreateSecret Call Failed

ID: Q154933

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51

SYMPTOMS

Error 1057 is reported when you select the startup option Log On As This Account for a Windows NT Service.

The following is written to the system log:

Event ID#: 7005
The LsaCreateSecret call failed with the following error: C0000035

CAUSE

You can manage trusted domains and associated passwords programmatically by using the Windows NT local security authority (LSA) API. However, LSA secrets are limited to 256. The client side of a trust relationship consumes one LSA secret. LSA secrets are used for other purposes (most notably, trust relationships and for saving service passwords). As a result, LSA API in your program or service may fail because you have reached the 256 limit.

RESOLUTION

Use the updated Lsasrv.dll file.
