This function will generate and output various log files and support information to assist in troubleshooting computer issues. The exported data is added to an archive file which can be attached to support tickets or forwarded from service desk to senior support.
It can be beneficial to know if a full memory dump (%systemroot%\memory.dmp) and minidump files (%systemroot%\minidump) exist on an endpoint. These can indicate crashes which may relate to an issue under investigation or related faults.
Due to the potential size of a memory.dmp file it is probably not wise to add it to the support archive. Flagging it's existence via a console output or creation of a proxy file in the archive may be appropriate.
Minidump files are typically small in size and could be considered for inclusion though it may be better to add a proxy file to the archive indicating the number of minidump files and their creation time.
