Developer diagnostic debugging upload

Controls whether or not end users are allowed to generate and upload a diagnostic debugging report. Such a report contains details about the computer, debug logs (if they are available) and a free-form text field where users can type details about a problem they've experienced. If this policy is enabled, you can customize whether users can generate such reports and, if they are allowed, you can specify an alternate FTP server (with credentials) where they should be sent. The credentials are not encrypted. If this policy is enabled, debugging report uploads are controlled by the settings you specify. If this policy is disabled, users cannot generate debugging reports. If this policy is not configured, users can generate debug reports and they will be sent to Dojo North Software.

NOTE: If you want to have reports uploaded to an internal server, you MUST specify values for ALL three FTP fields: server, username and password. If any are left blank, all will be ignored.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2 or Windows Server 2003 family with SP1
