ADPlus tool is very useful in creating a User Mode Process Dump file. I always use this tool to create a dump for diagnosing purpose. ADPlus is a VB script and ships with Debugging Tools for Windows.
Steps:
- Download the Debugging Tools for Windows from the below URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
- Identify the process fo which you want to create a dump file.
- Execute the following commands:
- ADPlus.vbs -crash -p -o
OR
- ADPlus.vbs -crash -pn -o
- Using the above commands the dump file will be created when process terminates unexpectedly.
Note: You can also use the above command in Server Core.
