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.
