Hi,

We are currently trying to certify our device drivers for Windows Server
2008 RC1 but the person running the WHQL tests tells me that we need the
operating system symbols in order to perform one of the WHQL tests (which we
need to run successfully in order to submit for certification).

Does anyone know where I can get the symbols for Server 2008 RC1?
(I need both the x64 and x86 symbols.)

Thanks, Don.

Set a system evironment variable named _nt_symbol_path
point to the following value
SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Create a folder c:\symbols. Ensure you have internet conenction available on
teh system.

This should give you all the public symbols available from Microsoft. Hope
this helps.

Hi Gurpreet,
The person performing the WHQL tests here tried what you suggested but it
failed. I've listed the results below. You can see that it was unable to
find the kernel symbols.
Thanks, Don.
