Debugging DsGetDCName in Win7

Hi,

 

That's just a short post while I'm working for a longer one.

A couple of days ago I was debugging an application, and I wanted to set a breakpoint for the DsGetDCName function to figure out the flags being passed to the function – (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms675983(VS.85).aspx)

and while in the MSDN help in says it's in the netapi32.dll the query in the debugger didn't show it to actually be there:

0:000> bp netapi32!DsGetDCName
Couldn't resolve error at 'netapi32!DsGetDCName'

 

So after some digging and a lot of step overs eventually I found out that the DsGetDCName function was moved to the logoncli.dll!

So in order to break on the DsGetDCName you need to setup a breakpoint for logoncli!DsGetDCName

0:000> bp logoncli!DsGetDCNameW
0:000> bl
0 e 73a74ca8     0001 (0001)  0:**** LOGONCLI!DsGetDcNameW

That's it…

 

Hopefully it will save time for someone in the future

 

Michael.
