I am working on to support the crash dump for virtual miniport on windows server 2008.
Upon installing the driver,i am expecting to recieve the SRB_FUNCTION_DUMP_POINTERS srb.
But i am not getting.wondering what could be the reason for this.

Thanks in advance,

Is this 2008 or 2008 R2, the SRB_FUNCTION_DUMP_POINTERS wasn’t called on
the original Server 2008 and there was no support for crash dumps in
virtual miniports.
