It verifies users logging on to a Windows computer or server, handles password changes, and creates access tokens. It also writes to the Windows Security Log.

So, I’m having a hard time understanding any connection between Exchange and the LSASS.exe process in this case. What else is running on this server?

I have asked them to decrease but am still getting the error message.
