This article describes steps on how to configure Windows Error Reporting to create a dump file for SteelCentral AppInternals agent process DsaServer.exe in specific. However the steps can be extended to any other exe from which a crash dump is needed.
Steps:
- Open Regedit as administrator
- Create a new key for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\DsaServer.exe
- In the image below, instead of a MyApplication key, you’d have a DsaServer.exe key. Other keys may already exist - that’s fine.
- Within that key you’ll want to create a string value called “
DumpFolder
” and give it a directory where you want the dump to be created in (A temp directory might be best since it will likely avoid permission issues)
- create a DWORD value called “
DumpType
” with a value of 2 (to gather a full dump)
- Reproduce the crash and hopefully you’ll see a new .dmp created in your DumpFolder
