Applies To: Windows Server 2008

The Security Accounts Manager (SAM) is a service that is used during the logon process. The SAM maintains user account information, including groups to which a user belongs. The SAM is attempting to change the domain functional level to a state that provides new features but has less compatibility with earlier versions of the operating system.
