How to get memory dump on target without debugger connected
Posted by HT on February 10th, 2006


Hi,

When target is connected to debugger (windbg) we could generate memory dump
with .crash command.

How we can do similar thing on target it self. i.e. debugger is not
connected and would like to generate dump file for later analysis with
debugger.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for reply. Is there an API similar to this for kernel dump?

Thanks.

There is no documented API to do this without a debugger as far as I know.
There are some third party tools (e.g. Sysinternals Livekd) that use
undocumented methods to do this, though.
