IIS crashing when user logs in via RDP?

Hello everyone,

I've been the only one managing our servers via RDP at the office, for
the longest time. Recently we added a new guy to help me, and we set
him up with an Active Directory domain account, similar to mine.

When he logs into the servers, he regularly (but not always) receives
a popup error indicating that w3wp.exe has crashed. It has "Send" and
"Don't Send" buttons on it to report the error. If he clicks "Don't
Send," it will continuously crash and popup a new error. If he clicks
"Send," it just crashes that one time and then stops! Has anyone ever
seen w3wp.exe crash regularly on RDP login? And why on Earth would
"Don't Send" cause it to continuously crash until we Send the report?
Any ideas?

Here are the errors that show up at this time in event log:

Re: IIS crashing when user logs in via RDP?

I would isolate the requests on each machine and see if you can determine
which box is causing the problem. Are there any errors in the event log.
Do you happen to run ISA server in front of these boxes? Do you have some
type of proxy server? Do you see the actual requests from multiple machines
logged in the WWW logs?

I usually turn off the Error Reporting Service and the Error Reporting
options in the System > Advanced Tab > Error Reporting Button. I normally
have the two top checkboxes selected. Hope that helps.
