Information
This policy setting controls whether memory dumps in support of OS-generated error reports can be sent to Microsoft automatically.
This policy does not apply to error reports generated by 3rd-party products, or additional data other than memory dumps.
The recommended state for this setting is: 'Disabled'.
Rationale:
Memory dumps may contain sensitive information and should not be automatically sent to anyone.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to 'Disabled:'
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Error Reporting\Automatically send memory dumps for OS-generated error reports
Note: This Group Policy path may not exist by default.
It is provided by the Group Policy template 'ErrorReporting.admx/adml' that is included with the Microsoft Windows 8.1 & Server 2012 R2 Administrative Templates (or newer).
Impact:
All memory dumps are uploaded according to the default consent and notification settings.
