Debugging Windows kernel on a Microsoft Azure platform virtual machine

I want to connect WinDbg to the Windows Server kernel running on a Microsoft Azure platform VM to debug some drivers. I tried to follow the instructions on msdn to connect the debugger over the network, but it seems that requires that the target machine and the host are locate in one local network. What are the options, is it possible to do it at all?

I tried: Setting Up Network Debugging of a Virtual Machine - KDNET

Solution

  • The problem is solved. It was necessary to add a new rule for the port used by the kernel debugger. This is done in the virtual machine settings in the "Network" section.
