“Who says you can’t bottle experience? Between these covers is a wealth of information: a clear, logical approach to finding and eliminating bugs. This is an absolute must-have book for anyone who develops, tests, or supports software for Microsoft Windows.” — Bob Wilton, Escalation Engineer, Critical Problem Resolution Team, Microsoft “An excellent reference for both intermediate and advanced debuggers: highly practical, and filled with tricks and strategies. This book stands out from all other Win32 debugging literature, thanks to its in-depth examples—including resolving intricate problems like stack and heap corruptions.” — Kinshuman, Development Lead, Windows Core OS Division, Microsoft The First In-Depth, Real-World, Insider’s Guide to Powerful Windows Debugging For Windows developers, few tasks are more challenging than debugging—-or more crucial. Reliable and realistic information about Windows debugging has always been scarce. Now, with over 15 years of experience two of Microsoft’s system-level developers present a thorough and practical guide to Windows debugging ever written. Mario Hewardt and Daniel Pravat cover debugging throughout the entire application lifecycle and show how to make the most of the tools currently available—-including Microsoft’s powerful native debuggers and third-party solutions. To help you find real solutions fast, this book is organized around real-world debugging scenarios. Hewardt and Pravat use detailed code examples to illuminate the complex debugging challenges professional developers actually face. From core Windows operating system concepts to security, Windows® Vista™ and 64-bitdebugging, they address emerging topics head-on—and nothing is ever oversimplified or glossed over! This book enables you to Master today’s most powerful Windows debugging tools, including NTSD, CDB, WinDbg, KD, and ADPlus Debug code that wasn’t designed or written for easy debugging Understand debuggers “under the hood,” and manage symbols and sources efficiently Debug complex memory corruptions related to stacks and heaps Resolve complex security problems Debug across processes: identity tracking, RPC debugger extensions, and tracking IPCs with Ethereal Find and fix resource leaks, such as memory and handle leaks. Debug common thread synchronization problems Learn when and how to write custom debugger extensions Perform “postmortem debugging” using crash dumps and Windows Error Reporting Automate debugging with DebugDiag and the Analyze Debugger command Whether you’re a system-level or application developer, Advanced Windows Debugging delivers the deep understanding of debugging that could save you weeks on your very next project.

Wrox Professional IIS-7 Mar2008

Introduction
Windows Server 2008 is the first update to Microsoft’s server operating system in nearly five years, and among the major changes is the new Internet Information Services 7.0, which probably marks the biggest departure from previous IIS versions that we have ever seen. Previous recent releases of IIS have concentrated on improving security and reliability and thus have mostly involved changes “under the hood.” For administrators and developers, adaptation to the new products had been relatively simple. With IIS 7.0, however, Microsoft has fundamentally changed the way the product works, with new configuration, delegated administration, and extensibility options designed to address perceived feature weakness compared to competing products. At the same time, IIS 7.0 now has new, real-time diagnostic and troubleshooting features and absorbs functionality from ASP.NET (such as caching and forms-based authentication), making this available across all requests. With the addition of a brand-new FTP server and FastCGI support, IIS 7.0 leapfrogs its major competitors in feature and flexibility options and indicates a clear effort by Microsoft to capture more of the public- facing web server market, in addition to its existing strong presence in the corporate sphere. For administrators and developers, the fundamental changes in the way that IIS 7.0 works, is administered, and can be extended mean that the knowledge required to fully take advantage of IIS 7.0’s new features is substantially greater than in previous versions. The authors have focused on capturing the very best of the new features in IIS 7.0 and how you can take advantage of them. The writing styles vary from chapter to chapter because some of the foremost experts on IIS 7.0 have contributed to this book. Drawing on our expertise in deployment, hosting, development, and enterprise operations, we believe that this book captures much of what today’s IIS administrators need in their day-to-day work.

Who This Book Is For
This book is aimed at IIS administrators (or those who need to ramp up quickly in anticipation of having to administer IIS). What differentiates this book is that it doesn’t just focus on features and how to configure them using a GUI administrative tool. Instead, we explain how features work (for example, how Kerberos authentication actually works under the covers) so that you can better troubleshoot issues when something goes wrong. Additionally, since most administrators need to be able to automate common procedures, we have included specific chapters on programmatic administration and command-line tools as well as code snippets (using AppCmd.exe, WMI, and .NET) throughout the book. This book covers features that many other IIS books don’t touch (such as high availability and web farm scenarios, or extending IIS) and has a dedicated chapter on troubleshooting and diagnostics.
