Detecting if system has been crashed when starting

NTDEV
1

Hello everybody.
It will be very useful for me if coredumps could be automatically copied into internal corporate shared folder, so I can analyze them(or automatically analyzed using the windbg script) when testing alpha version.

Have you got any ideas about that, how correctly solve that?
Or how to detect on the start if previos system boot has failed?
May be system log?

What is the best way, ha)?

Thank you guys!

Look in the system event log.

Core dumps are created in a file called MEMORY.DMP. So, you could add a
batch file in your Start Menu Startup group that does, for example:

if not exist c:\windows\MEMORY.DMP goto :exit
move c:\windows\MEMORY.DMP “m:\Shared\Dumpd%DATE% %TIME% MEMORY.DMP”
:exit
