COMMAND

    SRP (Security Rollup Package)

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    WinNT 4 SP6a

PROBLEM

    Kuster G. found  following.  Systems  with encrypted SAM  may hang
    after removing  Post-Windows NT  4.0 Service  Pack 6a  (SRP).   If
    your system's  SAM database  is encrypted  (syskey) and  you apply
    the SRP then remove it, your system may hang before receiving  the
    log on prompt.

SOLUTION

    Microsoft  was  informed  of  the  problem  on 8/10/01 the current
    method to  prevent this  from happening  is to  do the  following.
    Before uninstalling the SRP, edit the

        \winnt\$NtUninstallQ299444$\uninst.inf

    file.  Remove LSASRV.DLL and SAMSRV.DLL from the

        [systemroot\system32.restore.nodely.files]

    section of that uninst.inf file.
