Eliyas,
thanks for your hint !
I had ignored that the driver automatically unloads after the handles to the
device were closed. After I had closed all handles to the device, I tried
again to net stop the (already stopped) driver. Because I got always an
error message it seems to me that the driver are started and cannot be
stopped.
My mistake!
Thanks a lot,
Dieter

Subject: [ntdev] RE: How to stop a driver after a failed stop ?Did your driver unload after the handles to the device are
closed? From my
experience, if you try to net stop a driver and if that fails
due to open
handles to the device, the driver unloads automatically as
soon as all the
handle to the device is closed. If the driver doesn’t unload
then there must
be outstanding references to the DriverObject (which is contributed by
deviceobjects, user-mode symbolic links, unregistered
notification callback
- in win2k). You might want to check the deviceobject and driverobject
refcounts in the debuggers to see whether they go back to the
initial value
when your driver got/created them.-Eliyas
