What version of CVSNT are you trying to install / run? If it isn't the
most recent stable version then do try that. There was some trouble
awhile ago with the LSA helper app, this post has the same error message
but a different manifestation (e.g. your server isn't forcing a reboot,
but it also isn't Win2K):

On the client side, when you try to do a CVS command, use that as the
parameters. Might be moot at this point, but here's an example:
cvs -t -t -t -d :pserver:me at myserver:/test login
