★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Christopher T. HaunNovember 12, 201313 0 0 0 Summary When a user-mode process (such as w3wp.exe, owstimer.exe, iexplore.exe, or any .exe) is crashing (such that the process disappears unexpectedly from task

manager and reappears soon after with a different PID number), arguably the best way windows error reporting disable to begin to determine the root cause of the crash is to catch a crash dump as that process is crashing. This wer dump location blog offers two ways to trigger the crash dump and suggests a way to begin interpreting the dump. The Choice between DebugDiag and WER I highly recommend the use of DebugDiag as http://www.gfi.com/support/products/How-to-collect-user-mode-crash-dumps-with-Windows-Error-Reporting the tool to use to automatically trigger a crash dump as the process crashes and as the tool to begin analyzing the crash dump. The tool is simply the most flexible and customizable way to get simple crash dumps and advanced crash dumps. But since I'm taking here about simple crash dumps, and since it's not uncommon for the change management process to move too slowly, and since some IT groups have https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/chaun/2013/11/12/steps-to-catch-a-simple-crash-dump-of-a-crashing-process/ very restrictive tool installation approval process for their servers, sometimes DebugDiag cannot be installed on a server where a process is crashing, I also am going to offer steps here to use Windows Error Reporting (WER) to automatically trigger the crash dump. Often WER is adequate to get the crash dump. So I'll start with WER. But if you have permission to install DebugDiag on your server, feel free to skip the WER steps. How to Set up WER for a Crash Dump WER is already there! WER is already part of your operating system (in Win2008 and higher) and needs only to be configured. You'll need to add a registry key. As an example, to catch a total of two crash dumps of a crashing w3wp.exe process, you could use copy the following text into notepad, save it, and rename it to something like W3wpcrashdumps-to-C.reg. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\w3wp.exe] "DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,64,00,75,00,6d,00,70,00,73,00,00,00 "DumpCount"=dword:00000002 "DumpType"=dword:00000002 This will make a total of 2 full user dumps (not mini-dumps but full dumps) and write the dumps to C:\dumps. In the registry it will look like this: But you may not want to write the dumps to the system partition. You can send it to an
