Remote Debugging Problems w/ VS.net 2005 SP1

I have done through all the MSDN documentation and Googled everything I could
on the errors I am receiving about installing and configuring remote
debugging. I believe it is communications related. This is the scenario:
The Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugger service is started on the remote
database server that I want to debug SQL code on as Local System. I am a
member of the local administrators group on that server and a member of the
sa role in SQL Server. I configured all the DCOM settings on both the remote
server and my local workstation, which is running XP SP2, and opened the
firewall exceptions on my workstation.
When I attempt to step into a procedure, the message " Unable to start T-SQL
Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'daysqltest02'. Remote
calls are not allowed for this process." displays. If I manually run the
Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor interactively on the remote server,
when I attempt to step into a procedure, an entry is displayed in the monitor
that a connection from my workstation has been made and the following message
is displayed "Unable to start T-SQL Debugging. Could not connect to computer
'daysqltest02'. The Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor on the
remote computer does not have permission to connect to this computer. Please
see Help for assistance."
Other people in my office on the same network or other networks can
successfully debug and there is not firewall between my workstation and the
remote server so I know it is something with my security or communications
configuration. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Parch,
I suggest you try the tool SQL Ultimate Debugger:
http://lakesidesql.com/downloads/PFD/1_0_2007_809/PFDebugger_Setup_08-09-2007.zip.
This tool is a post factum debugger and allows you to trace and
debug obejcts (SP's Triggers, FN's, etc.) that had been executed. It's
waaaay better than the T-SQL debugger in VS. Also, since this software has
not yet been officially realeased, I would not recommend (YET) to use it in
a production environment.
You can learn more about it here:
http://208.75.249.50/products/sql-ultimate-debugger/screenshots.html. If you
want a copy of its documentation. shoot me an email and i can send it to
you.
I hope that helps.

|||Thanks for the information. I will definitely look at this product and would
appreciate a copy of the documentation for review.
With this product, can stored procedures be interactiely debugged?
