Hi everyone,
So I have a situation where I need to transfer .PDB files over to an airgapped test machine. I found from here that you can use symchk /om
to first create a manifest file, and then symchk /im
to download the corresponding .PDB files.
However, it seems that whever I try to follow the following guide from OSR, I always get the following output:
C:\Users\Maxim\Documents\w10>symchk /om manifest.w10 /ie ntoskrnl.exe /s c:\users\Maxim\Documents\w10\empty
SYMCHK: ntoskrnl.exe FAILED - ntkrnlmp.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: hal.dll FAILED - hal.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: kd.dll FAILED - kd.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll FAILED - mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: msrpc.sys FAILED - msrpc.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: ksecdd.sys FAILED - ksecdd.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: werkernel.sys FAILED - WerKernel.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: clfs.sys FAILED - clfs.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: tm.sys FAILED - tm.pdb mismatched or not found
SYMCHK: PSHED.DLL FAILED - pshed.pdb mismatched or not found
...
SYMCHK: FAILED files = 195
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 0
The manifest looks like this:
C:\Users\Maxim\Documents\w10>type manifest.w10
ntoskrnl.exe,00,2
hal.dll,00,2
kd.dll,00,2
mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll,00,2
msrpc.sys,00,2
ksecdd.sys,00,2
werkernel.sys,00,2
clfs.sys,00,2
tm.sys,00,2
PSHED.DLL,00,2
...
Consequently when I try to then fetch the files, I get symchk
complaining:
C:\Users\Maxim\Documents\w10>symchk /im manifest.w10 /s SRV*c:\users\Maxim\Documents\w10\empty*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
SYMCHK: ntoskrnl.exe ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2

SYMCHK: msrpc.sys ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: ksecdd.sys ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2

SYMCHK: clfs.sys ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: tm.sys ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: PSHED.DLL ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
...
Could someone suggest as to what mistake I’m making? The zeroes in the manifest file look rather suspicious, because I tried with an older tool on Win XP, and evidently that’s where the checksum is supposed to go.
