Use Windbg to debug win2008

Question

I use Windbg+vmware debug win2008. And in win2008, I set the config of debug like:

bcdedit /dbgsettings serial baudrate:115200 debugport:1
bcdedit /debug {current} ON

Then, I use serial port at named pipe type in VM. I set "\.\pipe\com_1" and select "This end is the server" and "The other end is an application" item.

Finaly, I set Windbg like:

-b -k com:port=\\.\pipe\com_1,baud=115200,pipe

When I run Windbg, it display:

Opened \\.\pipe\com_1
Waiting to reconnect...

and no response. I think Windbg find com_1. But I do not know win2008 has no response. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

Try this solution. You write: I set "\.\pipe\com_1", should be \\.\pipe\com_1
