Object Manager's database: winobj.exe

1

Is there a utility (may be winobj.exe), which can be
used to browse through the Object Manager’s database ?
MSDN indicates that such a utility exists in Platform
SDK though I couldn’t find it !

Thanks,
Anuj

You can download such a utility from OSR’s web site.

As you thought, winobj.exe in the SDK (SDK\Bin\winnt).

Thanks for your response. I downloaded “Core SDK” from
“http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/”,
but I don’t see this utility in Bin\winnt directory.
Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Anuj

Thanks Tony. However, when invoked on Win2K machine,
this utility gives following error:

“The procedure entry point ZwOpenKeyedEvent could not
be located in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll”

Is there a patch of ntdll.dll required for this ?

Thanks,
Anuj

I ran into the same problem when I tried upgrading to the May 2002
PSDK. It seems that winobj.exe is no longer in the distribution. I
reverted back to the November 2001 PSDK for this very reason. Does
anyone know what is the story behind this? Did someone move it out of
the Core SDK package? Thanks!
