"Directs the RPC Runtime to generate extended error information when an error occurs.

Extended error information includes the local time that the error occurred, the RPC version, and the name of the computer on which the error occurred or was propagated. Programs can retrieve the extended error information by using standard Windows application programming interfaces (APIs).

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the RPC Runtime only generates a status code to indicate an error condition.

To use this setting, enable the setting, and then select an error response type in the drop-down box.

--  "Off" disables all extended error information for all processes. RPC only generates an error code.

--  "On with Exceptions" enables extended error information but lets you disable it for selected processes. To disable extended error information for a process while this setting is in effect, the command that starts the process must begin with one of the strings in the Extended Error Information Exception field.

-- "Off with Exceptions" disables extended error information but lets you enable it for selected processes. To enable extended error information for a process while this setting is in effect, the command that starts the process must begin with one of the strings in the Extended Error Information Exception field.

--  "On" enables extended error information for all processes.

Note: For information about the Extended Error Information Exception field, see the Windows 2000 Platform Software Development Kit (SDK).

Note: Extended error information is formatted to be compatible with other operating systems and older Microsoft operating systems, but only newer Microsoft operating systems can read and respond to the information.

Note: The default setting, "Off," is designed for systems where extended error information is considered to be sensitive, and it should not be made available remotely."
