A windows process got crashed for some reason. I need to analyse the crash dump. In Windows 2003 PC health helped us to find the crash dump file. How to get the crash dump file location in Windows 2008? I have observed on Windows 2008 the Windows Error Reporting crash dumps get staged in the folder: C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue Which, starting with Windows Vista, is an alias for: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue Kiquenet Maybe useful (Powershell) http://sbrennan.net/2012/10/21/configuring-application-crash-dumps-with-powershell/ From Windows Vista and

I have found many tutorials about using Windows Server 2003 as a development machine, and very little information about Windows Server 2008 for the same purpose. For a nicer experience, I have followed the steps from Convert your Windows Server 2008 to a Workstation . I am searching for the requirements and installation order for IIS 7 with IIS 6 compatibility mode, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (does it require the installation of .NET Framework 3.0 feature, or can be installed directly), SQL Server 2005 SP2 (with Reporting services and Analysis Services), Visual Studio 2008 SP1. SQL Server 2005 -

I am attempting to write a script that will check to see if a computer is on my LAN before running the rest of my script. It is a simple backup script using robocopy but I would like it to output a file based on whether it was successful or not. This is what I have. set machine=userbox ping -n 1 %machine% > nul if errorlevel 1 goto BAD goto GOOD :GOOD robocopy source destination echo "backup complete" > c:\scripts\backupgood-%machine%.log shutdown /s /m \\%machine% /t 600 goto END :BAD echo "Computer not on" > c:\scripts\%machine%-offline.log :END Right now the script is not detecting whether

I'm developing an ASP.NET web application. The site generates PDF files which contain images of handwritten content (signatures etc.). The bitmap images are created by some methods of the Microsoft.Ink library, converting MS Ink data (generated on a Tablet PC and transferred to the site.). Now, it works like charm on my Vista development machine, but not on the production server, a Windows Server 2008 64bit machine. There is some unmanaged code for Microsoft.Ink besides the .NET assemblies I deployed. So I installed the Tablet PC SDK 1.7 on the server - but I still get some missing COM

How can I list all installed features of Windows Server 2008 in c#. I tried to query dism.exe or oclist.exe but not all versions have it. Can I use System.Management.ManagementClass to do this somehow ? Darqer I have found it, you have to use Win32_ServerFeature Class ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280268(VS.85).aspx ) and System.Management.ManagementClass. It works on ws2008. ManagementClass objMC = new ManagementClass( "Win32_ServerFeature"); ManagementObjectCollection objMOC = objMC.GetInstances(); foreach (ManagementObject objMO in objMOC) { string featureName = (string)objMO

Is it possible to create a batch-file which opens firefox, runs a website and then closes firefox again? Something like: @echo off start firefox http://..... This is where I am stuck... It needs to close firefix again when the website is finished loading. It is used to run a maintenance-script every night at 23:59. The script is based locally, but one cannot run a asp-file without using a server, so I have placed it as a website. Adapted from an article I wrote on aspfaq.com years ago. Use the AT command and Windows Scripting Host (or the more rudimentary task scheduler) to schedule a VBS file
