Hello!
I have a W2000 Advanced server on service pack 3. If I
look at the registry I see this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashC
ontrol
AutoReboot REG_DWORD 0x1
CrashDumpEnabled REG_DWORD 0x1
DumpFile REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP
LogEvent REG_DWORD 0x1
MinidumpDir REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%\Minidump
Overwrite REG_DWORD 0x1
SendAlert REG_DWORD 0x1
According to KB 254649 the line "CrashDumpEnabled" is set
for a FULL Memory Dump ==> i.e. 0x1
But when I look in the Startup and Recovery settings GUI
(properties of the "my computer") it shows "Kernel Memory
Dump". If that were the case, the above-mentioned reg
setting should be at 0x2.
QUESTION: Is this a problem in windows 2000? Has anyone
else seen this?
(BTW, no dumps are occuring since the disk space and
pagefile are setup as per the kernel dump specs in that
kb. As well, there are no other instances of the OS on
this box as per the boot.ini file, so it's not as though
I'm looking at the wrong system startup settings in the
GUI. Finally, I experimented on other W2k boxes, and
found that just manually changing the registry value
seems to dynamically update the GUI to the proper
setting. Am about to try fixing this on the "problem"
box by manually adjusting the registry and see if that
fixes things.)
Thanks!
