  IIS Worker Process Exceptions not logging in WER Reply Contact I have a web app which is showing intermittent failures...   It's hosted on a win 2008 x64 machine...  I configured Windows Error Reporting to create minidumps for all "problems"...  Locally on my vista dev box, and on my dev server, when cause an IIS exception, I get an entry in the Problem Reports and Solutions app, logged under the "IIS Worker Process" I get my mdmp file and all is good...  on the production servers though, I never see any entries in WER for the "IIS Worker Process"...  any ideas?  on one of the production servers I do see some IIS Worker Process entries, but they are listed under the problem "APPCRASH"...  where the exception I am causing is listed under the problem "Stopped Working" on the machines that are logging it under WER.

  Re: IIS Worker Process Exceptions not logging in WER Reply Contact I have been using Tess's Buggy Bits app to create app pool crashes http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/pages/net-debugging-demos-information-and-setup-instructions.aspx and using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\ForceQueue (DWORD) to 1 to force mini dumps to be created with crashes. What I have discovered is the production web farm will log exceptions if the app pool is under "Network Service" but not under the domain account...  Locally on my test server, I can use a domain account for the app pool, and things are logged just fine... Which leads me to the possibility that this is a permissions issue.  Does anyone know the permissions required for a "user account" to create a WER event? Dan
