I want to deploy Visual Studio Remote Debugger to the target machines automatically. I can install Remote Debugger silently via cmd, grant required prevelegues to user and modify firewall. I have to configure it using Wizard (rdbgwiz.exe) and it seems the Wizard doesn't have command line parameters. How I can configure Remote Debugger? Is there a way to do it without the Wizard? What Wizard does? Just only creates a service?
It is not neccesary to run Wizard. You could do the following:
1) Disable Windows Firewall completely. Unfortunately, partially fix as allowing connections for required ports doesn't work.
2) Install debugger, use /q option to silent install
3) Allow your account to Log on as a Service.
4) Change log on credentials for Remote Debugger service.
5) Enable debugger service.
6) Run it. *
So, my bat file looks like
@echo off
pushd %~dp0
netsh advfirewall set domain state off
netsh advfirewall set private state off
netsh advfirewall set public state off
if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" (
set arch=x86
) else (
set arch=x64
)
"rtools_setup_%arch%.exe" /q
ntrights.exe -u %username% +r SeServiceLogonRight
sc config msvsmon120 obj= "%computername%\%username%" password= "password"
sc config msvsmon120 start= auto
sc start msvsmon120
*) Be careful about debugger version. Different versions of debugger have different service names: msvsmon100 is for VS 2010 debugger, msvsmon110 for 2012 and msvsmon120 for 2013.
