How to install Windbg and get your first memory dump

Hi Johan,

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing it, and also for the "Advanced Adplus" section in particular!

Couple of things which I think is worth mentioning is that you can't take automatic dumps (u can connect to session 0, I believe though!) by using adplus.vbs if you are using Terminal Service to login to the problematic box and setting up a rule for crash.

adplus -crach -pn w3wp.exe -NoDumpOnFirst

Besides, in IMHO DebugDiag is doing a pretty good job these days because of its easy to use GUI.

Now, the most trivial thing... adplus -crach -pn w3wp.exe -NoDumpOnFirst... is obviously mis-spelt!

Thanks,

Rahul Soni

Hi Rahul,

Thanks for the feedback. Good point on including the information for Terminal Services. I've updated the post and linked to a good kb-article on the subject.

I corrected the typo too. Good catch! :)

DebugDiag is great, and I've used it quite a lot. I sort of swing back and forth between adplus and DebugDiag. For a while I preferred DebugDiag because of its friendly GUI, but right now I favor adplus. I guess it's because I find it easier to send a few command lines to a client rather than a couple of screenshots.

Cheers / Johan

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how do I get memory dump for a exe which terminates in very less time.

Since then I dont have process ID nor process name since it remains for very short duration.

Thanks ..

Rohit

Hi Rohit,

Start windbg and run the application directly from windbg (I'm assuming that this is a winforms application or similar.)

Windbg will load the .exe and immediately break. Type "g" (go) and press enter.

When the process terminates windbg will automatically break again. You can then investigate the process or save a dump using the .dump command.

Hi,

How do I get complete memory dump without specifying process id or name? The issue here is all the process seems to work fine however the responds too slowly and a reboot will resolve it.

Appreciate you help on this.
