pdb

For deubgging some process I will need to download the PDB files for some operating system dll files (OLE32, NTDLL, etc.)

That server is not connected to the internet.

I know the following method to get the PDB.

Get full dump of the process
Copy the dump to another machine where internet connection is available
Use .reload to download the PDB files
Copy the PDB files from the local PDB store

Is there any thing more simple or do I have to go through the dumping process?

Thanks Saar

Even if I wrote a macro to limit the dump… >>> More
