Large dump files generated under "C:\Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent\Plug-in for Active Directory\Dumps"
Description

We noticed that large dump files were generated under "C:\Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent\Plug-in for Active Directory\Dumps" on several PROD Domain Controllers (see attached file).
Cause

This can be related to the defect ID 208937:
https://support.quest.com/kb/4225153/all-domain-controllers-generated-large-dump-files-and-memory-usage-spiked-to-100
https://support.quest.com/kb/4329099/domain-controllers-having-100-memory-spike-and-large-dump-files-generated
Resolution
A workaround for this issue is to change memory dump size from full to mini via registry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Quest\ChangeAuditor for Active Directory
- MemoryDumpType: 2 = full memory dump (default), 1 = mini dump
- CircularDumpCount: 2 (default)
