How to attach WinDbg to a service?
There are various ways to do this.
- Find the PID for process that is hosting the service. You can do this with the help of command,
tasklist /svc
Look for service and associated PID, then go to command prompt, into the directory where windbg is installed and give command,
windbg.exe -p <ProcessID>
- Another way is to directly use the service name as parameter to windbg. This is more convenient way, but hardly known to users/developers. You can use following command,
windbg.exe -psn RPCSS
Above command will find out the process which is hosting RPCSS process and then attach the debugger to that process.
Stay tuned..
