Hi, All!
I tried setup network kernel debugger of guest Windows Server 2012 R2 on VMware Workstation 10.1 according article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh439346(v=vs.85).aspx
But I can't connect to guest with WinDBG. I configure bcdedit, reboot and see that guest OS boot very slow.
Next I run regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kdnet and see that
KdInitResultString value is "InitializeNetwork failed to get the Ethernet address of the host debugger.".
KdInitStatus value is "c00000b5".
I tried:
- change hardware version to 9
- change guest Ethernet adapter to e1000
- disable DHCP (guest debugger must use APIPA)
- change connection type (bridge NAT,host-only)
and every time I get "InitializeNetwork failed to get the Ethernet address of the host debugger." error. In guest Windows 8.1 x64 and Windows 8.1 x86 i get same result.
But I can debug guest Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 over network without any problems. Also i can debug Windows Server 2012 R2 over network in Oracle VirtualBox.
Is it a problem of VMware Workstation? Can anybody debug guest WIndows Server 2012 R2 or Windows 8.1 over network in VMware Workstation?
Thanks!
