While remote debug how pdb are located (VS 2008)

Question

While remote debug how pdb are located (VS 2008)

When a debugger is attached to a process on a remote server -

What places are looking for pdb? In what order? (for example search on remote server (debuggee) or local client (debugger))

When I use the debugger to manually load the pdb file from a specific location is it the debugger looking for the file locally or is it the remote debugger monitor looking for the file in the page

Is there an article describing this process?

Is there an article describing this process?

As you know, when the debugger starts a session, it starts looking for the location where the corresponding PDB is located. The next article describes the mechanism and procedure for searching a process.

The machine the debugger is running on is loading symbols (not deleted ones).

This article explains the basics of setting up where VS looks for characters:

This explains how to set up a symbol server in the search path (which is especially useful for Windows symbols):

There are many errors for remote debugging (mainly for connection and permissions / authentication). See the following page for a list of links you want to read for more details:
