DOCUMENT:Q182840 09-AUG-2001 [winnt] TITLE :Net Localgroup Access Violates PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:WinNT:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you issue the following net command from a Windows NT MS-DOS command prompt, "NET LOCALGROUP", the computer will display the following Dr. Watson error message: An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated. NET1.exe Exception: access violation (0xc00000005), Address: 0x7780158b **Note that the address reported may differ from the one above. The net localgroup command is designed to display a list of local groups on the computer that you are running the command against. CAUSE ===== This is caused by having more than 500 local groups defined in the security account manager (SAM) database of the target computer, whether that is the primary domain controller (PDC) or a member server or workstation. RESOLUTION ========== As a workaround, if a list needs to be generated of all the local groups that are defined in the SAM database, the Windows NT Server Resource Kit utility, Addusers.exe will accomplish this. Addusers.exe has been tested and confirmed to be a suitable workaround for this issue. For more information on the Addusers utility, see the documentation in the Resource Kit or use the /? switch on the command line, (that is, addusers.exe /?). STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
