I've just set up a test of Corporate Error Reporting (CER) using Agentless Exception Monitoring (AEM) running as part of System Center Operations Manager 2012 R2 (SCOM) on Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials with Update.
In any case, I do have everything set up. I have two virtual machines (one the server / one a test client to crash a program on). I can go ahead and crash a program on the client and sure enough, a dump is taken and the error shows up in SCOM's AEM page. Great. I can manually browse deep in my configured ErrorData
folder and I do eventually find a .cab
file that has the dump I'm interested in. There must be a better way to get the dump file.
Here's my question: How do I access the dump for a specific error from within SCOM (on the server or the web interface)?
I'm trying to figure out the developer workflow -- and as a developer myself, I want the crash dump. Again, I am able to manually browse through a long path (several folders deep with non-intuitive names -- a red flag for me that I shouldn't be browsing this way).
The long path (note that CERTESTSRV
and CERTESTINT
are the server/domain names -- probably not needed for this problems sake):
\\CERTESTSRV.CERTESTINT.local\ErrorData\PersistedCabs\Generic\APPCRASH\CrashProject.exe\0.0.0.0\56a01172\MSVCR120.dll\12.0.21005.1\524f7ce6\40000015\000a7676\b22863e6-3b7f-4447-93c6-ae80c30384e6.cab
I set up the server based on: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh457006.aspx
Note: I'm unsure if this question is better suited here or on SuperUser. I decided to put it here as it's somewhat development related.
