Ntdsutil.exe erroring out on Windows Server 2019

Question

Since March of this year I'm receiving this error when attempting to run ntdsutil's "integrity" function:

Description:
Faulting application name: ntdsutil.exe, version: 10.0.17763.5458, time stamp: 0x20407e02
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.17763.5458, time stamp: 0xfb111856

Faulting process id: 0x23e0
Faulting application start time: 0x01da98c952be806d

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: 635432f9-6a17-4894-ab63-ba9590196ece

Last time it worked correctly was February. I run it every month.

Please advise?

Hi sycomputing,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community Forums.

0xc0000409 is a Windows error code indicating that an exception was encountered when the application was started, STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN.This is usually caused by a stack buffer overflow, and may be due to a program attempting to write data beyond the range of memory allocated to it. This can be caused by a software error or a system problem.

I searched and found people having the same problem as you. Here is the relevant link: error code 0xc0000409 - Microsoft Community

It mentions about repairing system files: SFC scannow - Microsoft Community

Since your posting mentions that Ntdsutil.exe was running fine before, I think it's very likely that there is a problem on the system side.
