Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks to take time for this issue. To answer your questions: Yes I run
both, the VS debugger and msvsmon.exe under the local admin account. The
error I received, is from VS debugger when I tried to connect from the
attach to process windows. I received this error:
"Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor
named 'the server'. The microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor on
the remote computer cannot connect to the local computer. A firewall may be
preventing communication via DCOM to the local computer."
One observation at this point. When I tried to connect to the remote server
from the attach to process windows, I used the following information: In the
"transport" info, I choose "Default", in the "Qualifier" section in put info
like gagnonyv@wdeuacev01. gagnonyv is the local account that was created on
both computer, with the same password. When I press the enter key, if a take
a look on the remote server, I see an entry in the remote debugging monitor
saying "wdeuacev01\gagnonyv connected. That info told me that the connection
worked, but like the message say, the problem seam to be that the remote
computer is unable to do his job to return info to VS.
Both machine has OS windows serveur 2003.
I hope the preceding info is clear to explain the situation.
Best regard
Yves

Hi Yves ,
Remote debugging involves two-way communication between the Visual Studio
2005 debugger and the Remote Debugging Monitor (msvsmon.exe). Since these
two machines reside in different domains, there are no trust relationship
between the DC of these two domains. So the Windows security
authentication
can not establish in your scenairo.
Yes, one way to resolve this problem is creating two local Administrator
accounts with the same username/password on both machines. The link below
is the official document for cross-domain debugging:
"Remote Debugging Across Domains"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9y5b4b4f.aspx
After doing this, do you run both the VS debugger and msvsmon.exe under
the
this same local Admin account? If so, what error do you get while
performing remote debugging? Is it still "Unable to connect to 'name
of machine'" error dialog? Also, in which step do you get the error?
Finally, what OS are your client&server machines?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
