High lsass.exe usage

[podraig]

Hi

We are evaluating lansweeper. In short it's looking really good.

Just noting though that lsass.exe CPU usage is high (maxed out one whole core) right after system boot, and presumably at other times as well.

We have it installed on an ESXi VM, 2008 (non-R2)

Lansweeper.exe appears to be chuggin along at 1 percent, but lsass.exe is full 50 percent.

Is this avoidable?

Cheers

Hi
We have the exact same issue. when computers are being scanned, lsass.exe will hug 50% of CPU.
We run Windows 2008 under ESX 4.1.
Thanks

this looks strange.
Are you using an active directory domain or a workgroup?
