symbol table for debug in windows

I want to compile and use Visual studio for checking an unmanaged C++ on windows program. I am using ADPlus and WinDBG. For doing this I need a .pdb file amd to configure the symbols of my debugging.

How u can configure it (to local machine and not the net) ?

Set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH in the environment to include the location of your PDB file(s). See here for detailed info, esp. if you want to get symbol info for the NT libs in your debug sessions.

You can also modify the symbol path dynamically in the Windbg GUI from the File menu, but this does not persist after you close WinDbg.
