Answer 1

This is how it worked for me:

Remote computer: Microsoft Virtual PC, "IHS\RDM" attached to my corporate domain, logged in as jdoe, administrator account.

Local computer: Attached to local domain, logged in as jdoe, administrator account.

1) remote computer: install rdbgsetup.exe (from Visual Studio 2005\Disk 2\Remote Debugger\x86)

2) Remote computer: RUNAS /user MYDOMAIN\jdoe /netonly msvsmon

3) Remote computer: msvsmon->Tools->permissions add user "MYDOMAIN\jdoe" (I have to do this every time I re-start)

4) local computer: run msvsmon.

5) local computer, msvsmon->Tools->permissions, add object types: "computers", "IHS\RDM"

6) local computer, vs2005->debug->attach to process. Transport: Default, Qualifier: jdoe@RDM

7) Refresh, and voila; a process list!
