Disable Application Failure Logging on Win2008

Question

Windows Server 2008 has by default some mechanism that automatically logs data about an application failure. I believe is called "System Queed Error Reporting"

Is there a way to disable it?

Answer 1

I don't have a 2008 machine handy to verify that they are exactly the same, but here's where you can disable it in Vista through Group Policy (using gpmc.msc for domain-level edits or gpedit.msc for local edits):

• Computer Configuration
• Administrative Templates
• System
• Internet Communication Management
• Internet Communication settings
• Turn off Windows Error Reporting: Enabled

Answer 2

On Windows Server 2008, Windows Error Reporting is disabled by default. You can turn it On/Off by

1. Start -> Administrative Tools -> Server Manager.
2. Click on the machine name in Server Manager
3. Scroll down to the very bottom under Resources and Support.
4. Click "Turn On Windows Error Reporting"
