Error Reporting

Use the Error Reporting page of the SQL Server Installation Wizard to enable feature error reporting functionality for SQL Server.

Options

By default, the Error Reporting features are disabled for SQL Server and its components in SQL Server 2008 R2.

  • Error Reporting
    If you enable the Error Reporting feature, SQL Server is configured to send a report to Microsoft automatically if a fatal error occurs in any of the following SQL Server components:

    • The Database Engine

    • SQL Server Agent

    • Analysis Services

    • Reporting Services

    • Integration Services

    • Replication

    Microsoft uses error reports to improve SQL Server functionality and treats all information as confidential.

    Information about errors is sent over a secure (https) connection to Microsoft, where it is stored with limited access. Alternatively, error reports can be sent to your own Corporate Error Reporting server.

    Error reports contain the following information:

    • The condition of SQL Server when the problem occurred.

    • The operating system version and computer hardware information.

    • Your Digital Product ID, which is not used to identify your license.

    • The network IP address of your computer or proxy server.

    • Information from memory or file(s) of the process that caused the error.

    Microsoft does not intentionally collect your files, name, address, e-mail address, or any other form of personal information. The error report can, however, contain personal information from the memory or files of the process that caused the error. Although this information can potentially be used to determine your identity, Microsoft does not use this information for that purpose.

    For more information about the SQL Server privacy and data collection policy, see Microsoft SQL Server Privacy Statement.

    If you enable Error Reporting and a fatal error occurs, you might see a response from Microsoft in the Windows Event log that points to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article on a particular error.

    To disable Error reporting for all instances of SQL Server and its components after Setup completes, go to the Error and Usage Reporting tool and clear the check boxes for Error Reporting. If Error Reporting is enabled for multiple components of SQL Server (the SQL Server Database Engine, Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and shared components) you can disable Error Reporting for each instance of an individual component as well as shared components, listed as Others.
