Hello,
I have a physical server running Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 included, that when crashes does not write a memory dump file. At the moment it is set to write a
Small memory dump (256 KB).
If I chose Kernel memory dump and click OK, I am prompted with a information:
"Windows might not be able to record details that could help identify system errors because your current paging file is disabled or less than 800 megabytes. Click OK to return to the virtual memory settings window, enable paging file, and set the size
to a value over 800 megabytes, or click cancel to change memory dump selection."
The server has 32 GB of RAM and currently 28673 MB allocated as virtual memory, but not on the system drive.
According to article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969028 "In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, to get a Memory Dump, the paging file does not have to be on the same partition
as the partition on which the operating system is installed. To put a paging file on another partition, it is not mandatory to use DedicatedDumpFile registry entry.".
So, I wonder what is the problem here. Any help would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Mircea
