Corporate Error Reporting (CER) is a Microsoft tool that allows companies to capture information from applications that are Windows Error Reporting (WER) enabled. WER allows applications and the Windows OS to forward crash reports to Microsoft when they occur. Several Microsoft products; including Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP, and Office 2003 have been enabled to forward crash dump information to Microsoft for further analysis when errors occur. This information is critical in helping Microsoft to better understand errors and continuously improve the reliability of its products and 3rd party products.
