How to Configure a Complete Memory Dump on Server 2008

In the 2008 GUI the option for Complete Memory dump has been removed - why I don't know.

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl

Modify CrashDumpEnabled to a decimal value of 1.

  1. There is a new check in windows server 2008 R2 when validating failover cluster which checks for the memory dump value and warns if the value is set to 0.

    This post helped me changed the value.

    Thanks
