Learn how the Dell™ Windows® Debugger Utility (DWDU) on an Out Of Band (OOB) interface enables you to remotely debug the Windows kernel in case of OS issues. This utility is especially useful in a secure lab where physical access to your servers is difficult.
With DWDU, the following features enable you to:
- Remotely debug the Windows Server® kernel
- Remotely monitor the Windows boot process
- Perform real-time Windows Driver debugging
The Windows kernel can be debugged using tools such as Windows Debugger (WinDbg) or Kernel Debugger (KD) that are running on a client machine that is connected to the server using a serial interface. This paper guides you on how to debug a Windows Server OS on a Dell server over the network that utilizes DWDU along with the Microsoft tools WinDbg and KD.
