This article explains how you can use ADPlus.vbs to create a User Mode Process dump file when a process terminates unexpectedly.
ADPlus tool is very useful in creating a User Mode Process Dump file. I always use this tool to create a dump for diagnosing purpose. ADPlus is a VB script and ships with Debugging Tools for Windows.

- Execute the following commands:
- ADPlus.vbs -crash -p -o
OR
