Automatically send fatal service error report to Microsoft

Select this check box if you want to enable the error reporting feature and automatically send an error report to Microsoft in the event of a fatal error.

If you installed Exchange 2007 by using the Exchange Server 2007 Setup wizard, on the Error Reporting page, you selected whether to enable the error reporting feature. If you installed Exchange 2007 using Setup from a Command Prompt window, the error reporting feature was disabled by default, unless you used the EnableErrorReporting parameter.

If you enabled the error reporting feature, information about fatal service errors is sent to Microsoft over encrypted channels. The information is used to improve Microsoft products.

When this feature is enabled and the issue reported has a known solution, the server will receive feedback from Microsoft. This feedback contains a link to information that may help resolve the problem.

For more information about the error reporting feature, see Privacy Statement for the Microsoft Error Reporting Service.
