WinDbg as client for remote WdfVerifier

WINDBG
1

Hi,
Trying to use WdfVerifier on a remote WinDbg target machine, select option to output trace message and all I get (at WinDbg end) is guids and No Format information found messages.
Where on remote machine do I put what files (pdb?, etl?) and/or what environment variables do I need to set to enabled ‘meaningful’ messages.

Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Are you trying to use this with UMDF or KMDF?

OK,
Target is WinXP running in debug mode with an RS-232 connection to WinDbg Host. WinDbg is simply using ‘File->Kernel Debug …’ option (as if debugging any driver at the other end).
If WdfVerifier is set to emit debug messages => Guids/No Format Information Found
If WdfVerifier is set to not emit => no messages at all (as expected)

Need to resolve the Guids/No Format Information into something useable.

Thanks
