SYMPTOMS
You can use the Dumpel utility, available in the Microsoft Windows NT
Resource Kit, to write out the contents of the Windows NT Event logs to a
standard ASCII text file. However, it might fail with one of the following
errors:
CAUSE
The Access Violation might be caused by an improperly formatted Date/Time
string in the Event log.
The LookupAccountSid failure is caused by a SID not mapping correctly to a
valid username.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
