is there a neat way to debug user mode applications /services etc .
My problem is, wen I try debugging event driven code on a local debugger, it
is very difficult. Can remote debugging be used ?
Which debugger should be used for it?

When debugging system processes such as services it’s best to use ntsd
because you can fully disable its UI.
ntsd -server <your_args> -noio
will start ntsd in pure-server mode with no UI. You can then connect to
that ntsd from a remote client for debugging. This would generally
require that some form of networking be working while you are debugging.
You can also do a lower-level form of remoting via dbgsrv, which lets
you run the full debugger elsewhere and just the dbgsrv stub on the
machine where the debuggee is. The documentation that comes with the
Windows Debuggers has more info on -server, -remote, dbgsrv and remoting
in general.

Copy the following files in c:\dbg (e.g) in the debugee.
dbgeng.dll
dbghelp.dll
dbgsrv.exe
decem.dll
srcsrv.dll
symbolcheck.dll
symsrv.dll
In case of using TCP port 1000.
From the debuggee, run the dbgsrv.exe like this. And that’s all.
debuggee> dbgsrv -t tcp:port=1000
From the debugger:
To create a new process in the remote machine: (windbg can be replaced with cdb)
debugger> windbg -premote tcp:server=,port=1000 c:\test\mytest.exe
To attach to a process:
debugger> windbg -premote tcp:server=,port=1000 -pn mytest.exe
Or just run,
debugger> windbg -premote tcp:server=,port=1000
and press F6 or File - Attach to a process to attach to a process.
Hopes this helps.

Chesong Lee
