Gflags doesn't let me enable "Object Reference Tracing"

WINDBG

Hi All

Gflags doesn’t let me enable Object Reference Tracing. I am trying it on
Windows 2003 SP1 machine. Is there any OS version limitation to it? Any
pointers will be much appreciated.

I found the answer. The debugger reference document didn’t mention this
minor detail.

"Object Reference Tracing. A new flag enables tracing of object referencing
and object dereferencing in the kernel. This new feature of Windows detects
when an object reference count is decremented too many times or not
decremented even though an object is no longer used. This flag is supported
only in Windows Vista and later versions of Windows. "
