Title
Can ChangeAuditor Dump files be deleted to recover disk space -
Description
There are ChangeAuditor dump files in the location "C:\Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent\Plug-in for Active Directory\Dumps".
Can we delete them safely?
What are the causes for the dump file generation?
What is the default size?
-
Cause
These dump files are created when an exception is detected within Lsass. Change Auditor uses an exception handler to capture any exceptions within Lsass for possible investigation.There is no default size. -
Resolution
The dump files are safe to delete if Change Auditor is operating normally, the time-stamp of the dump file(s) is quite old and/or the dump files are not required by Quest Support for investigation purposes.
Please note: If you have a Change Auditor version prior to 6.9.5, any folder/registry paths referenced may contain a non-Quest branded path.
