Scripts for analysing crash dumps of a Dynamics AX 2009 AOS.

AOS Crash Dump Analysis

This project allows you to analyse an AOS crash dump, so that in the end, you know the context (user, data area etc.) and the corresponding call stack of the session which caused the crash.

Furthermore it is possible to set up an automatic dump analysis with the aid of Windows Task Scheduler. If there is created a new dump, the scheduled task will pick up the dump, analyse it and save the analysis log to a specific directory along with a compressed version of the dump.

Analyse a Dump

Invoke script analyse_crash_dump.ps1 with the path to the crash dump file as sole argument. If everything was set up correctly, the script should output the context information followed by the call stack.

Graceful installation exit if insufficient rights

Exit with nice message from install.ps1 if not executed under an administrative account.

Error when resolving context for dump from WinSrv 2019

During the analysis of a dump taken from an AOS crash on a Windows Server 2019 host the following error occurs:

------------> Context <------------
