Title

The system must be configured to store all data in the error report archive. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The error reporting archive is stored locally on the system and is created after an error report has been sent to the local collector or DOD-wide collector (if defined). Storing all data, including memory contents, adds data that is very helpful in analyzing the errors.

Check Content

Fix Text

Configure the policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Error Reporting -> Advanced Error Reporting Settings -> "Configure Report Archive" to "Enabled" with "Store All" selected for "Archive behavior:".
