Configuring Windbg to use MS Symbol server.

Using the MS Symbol Server for windbg and other tools

The Microsoft Symbol Server is built by using the SymSrv technology (SymSrv.dll) that is provided with the Debugging Tools for Windows package. SymSrv builds a local symbol cache for fast, automatic symbol resolution.

It is as simple to use the Symbol Server as it is to use the appropriate syntax in your symbol path. Typically, the syntax takes the following format:

SRV*your local symbol folder*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

where your local symbol folder is any drive or share that is used as a symbol destination.
