how to manually trigger a full memory dump

[Guest Chris]

On Windows 2003 sp 2 server.

 

1. how to do that on a local server? We use KVM switch. Can I do it via

RDP connection? Or need to connect a keyboard? I heard there is a hotfix

for usb keyboard for this? Is it before for sp1 or sp2?

 

2. I heard there is a sequence of key stoke. What is it? And I also heard

there is a 3rd party tool will do that for you.

 

Thanks.

Try this:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters]

"CrashOnCtrlScroll"=dword:00000001

Once you've added this value, restart the PC, then test it by holding

down the right-hand Ctrl key and pressing the ScrLk key twice.

another question. If I set such registry at the remote server which is

connected a IP KVM can I trigger the dump with the same key strokes using

RDP connection?

Don't know - you'd have to try this for yourself.
