SP2 RTM problem
- After I install SP2 RTM (from MSDN) on domain controller with Network Police Server role, this server hangup after few hours.
Problem is in NPS/IAS service:
Faulting application svchost.exe_IAS, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919291, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e04189, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000000000001467, process id 0xe0, application start time 0x01c9d260d7f4de5e.
is possible uninstall SP2 from domain controller ?
Thanks,
Ladislav

- We had the same issue here and opened a case at microsoft for this.
We use the NPS for authentication for our wireless network.
The reason appears to be when a valid user authenticates with a wrong password then the services crash.
Microsoft is aware of this bug and are working on a fix. But there is no release date known for this.
they gave me 3 options to solve it for now:
1. Uninstall service pack 2
2. Stop using PAEP as authentication method.
3. Do nothing and wait for hot fix to be ready

- Hi,
I open case on MS PSS and install + run debugger. After this NPS service dont crash :-)
1)Adplus Dump for NPS service
a. Install Debugging Tools for Windows x64 Version
b. < http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/install64bit.mspx#EQB <http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/install64bit.mspx>>
c. Open a command prompt window
d. Change the directory C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows>
e. Execute the following command:
adplus -crash -nodumponfirst -p PID (If you will see other widows prompting please click always on OK)
Were PID is the Process ID for the NPS Service - you can find the PID in TaskManager.
g. Wait untill the NPS service crashed.
h. You will find the dump in C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows :

- We're seeing exactly the same crash, but this is with the release version of SP2 (from Windows Update).
NPS running on a 2008 domain controller will crash within about 24 hours, and kill anything else in the same SVCHOST process, which in out case kills the User Profile Service, which causes a cascading series of problems.
I've rolled back SP2 until there is a proper fix for this.

Is there any way a person could run the nps server in its own SVCHOST process??

2. Then remove the Windows Server 2008 SP2 with no problem.
To remove the Windows Server 2008 SP2 from a domain controller, please follow these steps:
a. Click Start Collapse this imageExpand this image, copy and then paste (or type) the following command in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER: appwiz.cpl
b. Click View installed updates.
c. Click Service Pack for Microsoft Windows (KB948465), and then click Uninstall.
d. Follow the instructions to complete the removal process.

thanks for you response.
I try before uninstall SP2, uninstall FCS SHV - event log wrote after SP2:
SHV Id : 79747 can not create validator.
This SHV not working correctly with SP2. Hello Ladislav,
According to the customer's description, it seems that you may have installed Forefront Integration Kit for Network Access Protection.
From the error message, it seems that this component has encountered some problems after installing Windows Server 2008 SP2.
To resolve this issue, please uninstall this component to see whether it helps.

- Hi Rudi,
I have the same issue:
Faulting application svchost.exe_IAS, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919291, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e04189, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000000000001467, process id 0x1444, application start time 0x01c9d570f76f56bc.
Error message seems almost identical. This machine is not a DC, and not using any forefront tools. I've uninstalled SP2, and i'm hoping that the problem will go away. - Hi Lukas,
after deinstall FCS SHV my NPS working fine on W2K8 X64 w/SP2. Authenticated about 2000 users and installed on domain controller and now use Windows SHV and Configuration Manager SHV.

Hi Ruid01,
Thank you for the sharing on solution to the issue.

/Fisker - Hi Fisker,
Is not an workaround is an troubleshooting method.. We are attaching debugger to the crashing service in order to see where is the problem. - We're seeing exactly the same crash, but this is with the release version of SP2 (from Windows Update).

We had the same error yesterday!
Faulting application svchost.exe_IAS, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919291, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e04189, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000000000001467, process id 0x1444, application start time 0x01c9d570f76f56bc.
Our server could not connect to the network because network list service couldn't start and hereby the SQL server that was installed wasn't accessible anymore... We disabled the UAC and after a reboot the server was able to connect to the network again and the svchost error didn't appear anymore.
It seems that the Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 for x64-based Systems (KB948465)isn't downloadable anymore eather... we receive an error on our other test server that the windows update encountered an error while downloading this update...
It think it's best to wait installing this update, we are not even sure if disabling the UAC is even the solution...

- I'm having the same problem in the same environment Windows 2008 x64 SP2 Domain Controller. This is in a smaller branch office so I disabled NPS but this can only be a temporary workaround because this stops VPN and Wireless Access in the branch.

- Still no news :(
I have the same problem. logged it with MS and paid $390 for specialist when there was not much about it on the web yet about it.
(i've removed the IAS service at the moment so the server wont crash)
4 weeks later - still nothing. Im gonna try the CMD line options tomorrow to see if it works.
kinda ____ when wifi doesn't work and you've got 1100 clients asking why and when it will be fixed.
Anything been issued yet ?
Steve - 4 months later.... still waiting for a fix....
Didn't get time today as I was training a trainee most the day and sorting other problems. Im going to copy the VM tomorrow onto an external HDD and try resolve the issue (although it could take a while to copy, as its a 1.5 TB VM).
Before I was running Server 2008 Sp2 x64 on a physical server which had no problems with it. However, after migrating to Hyper-V (x32) (fresh domain) this problem arose randomly :(
Is any one experiancing this problem with a physical server.. ?
Yes. I am experiencing this on two physical DC's....both are crashing on average twice to three times per day. I have had to disable NPS on one of them just so I always have at least one live DC...let's just say I now have quite possibly the most unreliable wireless setup one can offer due to this problem. The work around I mentioned above did not work for either of my DC's.Didn't get time today as I was training a trainee most the day and sorting other problems.

Ian- Has a hotfix been made available to this issue yet? We have experienced this on both a VMWare 3.5 DC and a physical DC...
- Nope. Has anyone tried a system repair ?
- Does anyone know if this issue is fixed in Windows Server 2008 R2?
- I've upgraded our NPS server to R2 this weekend. So far, it has stood up to a day of production use.
However, as with SP2 this problem happened "occasionally", so i can't tell you for sure.
Our NPS Server is a VM - so i setup a new one with the same Name & IP. In case R2 doesn't work, i'll just go back to the old SP1 VM. - Any further data on R2 fixing this issue? We are seriously considering deploying if it might fix. We have been plagued by this problem for several months now and students arrive (we are a small college) next weekend!!! Microsoft PSS has been unable to assist.
Thank you! - Our NPS Server has been running this week without any issues on R2.
- Hi all,
I opened a case with MS, and got this response from the technician:
Action on Customer – Please ensure a full system backup prior to making any changes. Run the SVChost.exe in its own address space. (Please see attached). Action 2 – Uninstall SP2
NB – I understand this known issue is fixed in Windows 2008 R2.
Possible fixes:
1. Move NPS to its own instance of svhost - Run the following command: sc config type= own (yes, you need the space between the "="
and "own"). This will cause the service to always launch in its own svchost – Please find a link to the sc command line utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192/en-us2. Uninstall SP2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948537/en-us - same procedure as in Windows Vista.
still no hotfix (and no answer if the issue is resolved in R2, we asked this 2 weeks ago) :
I just checked the status of the hot fix and unfortunately there are still no significant updates to give you.
My Tech Lead returned to work today (he was on sick leave) and will answer me shortly if this is solved in R2.
- So far we haven't seen the issue yet in R2... normally on 2008 we would see the issue in about 2 days... and we have been running R2 for almost 2 weeks now.
Steve - info on 2 september :
I just checked info for the bug you are experiencing and a hot fix is now released but has the status of private which means that it is limited available. This further means that the hot fix is provided to limited number of customers to test if the hot fix works for them. This does not necessarily mean that the hot fix will soon be made publicly available.
I also finally received feedback internally if this bug is fixed in Win 2008 R2. Unfortunately this is not the case.
We’ll keep checking the status of this hot fix for you an update you as soon as there are changes with regard to the publicly availability.
info on 16 september :
No new updates.
Bug still being worked on, has not yet passed internal validation yet.
- Hi All,
Today after using SP2 for some time... we suddenly had no wireless access any more.
Ok I rebooted the server and then users also complained that they could not access shares on the file sever (DFS namespace server on the DC)
I used this : http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverNAP/thread/a9698005-aac3-42e6-9b5c-c00e9604b045
Currently working with Premiere. Suggestions given to mitigate the total collapse are...
1. split 4 service (ias, rasman , lanmanserver and eaphost )to different instances of svchosts.exe so that other services do not crash.
2. The command that you need to run is “c:\> sc config ias type= own”. Repeat the same command by replacing the service name and then restart the server.
I would like to have the fix
Hi! Just heard from premier. Fix will be added in December updates as an ETA. Until then the recommendation is to not use SP2 for full functionality. To stabilize, separate out services, but CHAP authentication will fail from my observations. info on 7 Oktober :
There has been some progress on the bug fix.
It seems it is now at the stage where it is to be approved for creation of package.
Keep in mind we can still be some time to go. When the package job has been approved they will start to make a package then that package needs to go thru the regression testing as well.
I really don't undestand why it takes months to create this fix....- I don't understand why this wasn't caught long before SP2 was released.
no info on a fix yet :The fix will be included in Service Pack 3.
I have no release date for service pack 3 to give you.
Also I tried to get information if a KB hot fix will be released before the release of service pack 3 but was not able to extract any such information.- We have the same issue. We used to run IAS on all 2003 DC's. This issue is preventing us from rolling out 2008 DC's, because NPS is unstable and crashes all the time. I have a ticket open for this.
- It looks like the issue is resolved in R2, we upgraded one of our DC's last week and no issues so far.
(we also tried some logins with incorrect passwords)
