    - No "SQLCmd.exe" on my Windows Server 2003 !?!?! Hi I have installed DTM Controller from the Windows Logo Kit 1_0_c on my Windows Server 2003 standard. On Winqual Announcements, when you log in to winqual it says ... " 1.. Open a CMD window on the controller and CD into your controller directory. Use SQLCmd.exe to apply the new filters to your controller 2.. Type "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\SQLCmd.exe -d DTMJobs -i UpdateFilters.sql" 3.. The result will say "1 rows affected" however all rows have been updated. " There is no "SQLCmd.exe" on my Windows Server 2003 ??!!?? What am I doing wrong ? Thanx in advance -- Eigil Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98419

    - Firewall driver with WDK Hi, I have a short question: - have there been any advances in the WDK to write firewall-like drivers? - is it possible wo use callout-drivers to implement a packet- inspection firewall? As NDIS was too complex for me to work with (on a fun project), I just want to know if things have changed, so I can have a try on this again.

    - Mirror driver, screen-to-screen BitBlt and consistency. Hi everyone. I'm trying to develop mirror video driver for VNC-like aplication. I've made a "stupid" version that just shares framebuffer into user- space and provide another buffer to store screen updates (just a bounding rect of a CLIPOBJ). But such a driver "produces" too much traffic. It is not much less than while using "blit-and-XOR" approach (BitBlt from screen, XOR with the previous frame and send the result over a wire) in most cases. So, I decided to implement a kind of updates z-Buffer, so that you can discard previous update if it was covered by another one the next moment. But it is not the case in point. The second way of bandwidth utilization improvement is taking screen- to-screen BitBlts into account. They often happen when scrolling appears. When screen-to-screen BitBlt occurs we need to send just a notification with the two rects coordinates instead of the whole bitmap, so this approach can decrease network traffic significally. But there is one problem. If screen-2-screen BitBlt occurs while user- mode application reads frame buffer, data sent to the other client might be inconsistent. And this inconsistency won't be fixed when "screen-to-screen" command is sent because this command carries no bitmap data, and data on the other side of the wire is taken from it's local screen copy which is corrupted. I see two ways of resolving this problem. First is to refuse the idea of taking screen-to-screen BitBlt into account and treat them as a bitmap-to-screen. The second way is to refuse the idea of grabbing the image directly from the framebuffer and create a separate bitmap for each BitBlt and share it's bits into userspace. Please tell me what approach is preferable. I tried to figure it out by disassembling Microsoft's rdpdd.dll, but it's to complex and has many obscure things like additional parameters cheks in DrvXxx berfore calling the corresponding EngXxx and use of private data structures.

    - Digitally signed drivers Hi, For installing a drivers which are signed with SPC certificates, on Vista64: 1) Do we need to ask users/clients to install the certificate on target machine? 2) I have a certificate from Verisign. To which certificate stores should the users install the certificates on target machine? 3) Is there a way to install certificates on target/client machines without user requiring to do it manually? Thanks. Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98415

    - Filter Centric AVStream driver stops receiveing Process dispach ca I have an AVStream driver I wrote for a card that my company makes, which follows the filter centric model. I also have down stream DirectShow transform filters that interface to the driver through the KSProxy. In general things work pretty good, but when I allow my system to run continuosly for long periods of time (meaning 24-48 hours), my device driver will stop receiving Process dispatch calls from Windows. The down stream transofrm filter is waiting for samples from the driver through the proxy, and the driver is waiting for a Process call from the Windows, the card is waiting for the driver to empty data out of it's full buffers, and the whole system just stops running. Does anyone have any idea what inside Windows causes could cause the Process dispatch to stop being called? Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98411

    - how to get the status of threads related to a driver Hi everyone, I am a new hand for driver devlopment. Now I face with a problem. I want to view the status of threads related to a driver. For example, are threads related to usbvideo driver runing or suspending (waiting for events). These information is very inportant for me to judge whether the thread related to driver occupy the cpu or not. Is there any way to make it possible? Does windbg provide the command to view it? Your help is very appriciated. Thanks. Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98396

    - WinDbg & kernel-mode debugging of virtual machines Are there any good white papers or other discussions about setting up WinDbg for kernel-mode debugging of a driver within a virtual machine hosted within VMware Workstation? I'm getting started on some file system filter driver and/or file system minifilter driver development. I have a build environment set up on Vista Ultimate x64, and have a variety of VM guests for WinXP Pro SP2 x86, Vista Business x86 & x64, and Win2K3 R2 x86 & x64. My intent was to use these VMs as my test environment instead of having a separate physical computer with multiple bootable partitions, etc.... Since kernel-mode debugging with WinDbg involves having a COM port or FireWire connection between the debug host & the test system, I was looking for some sort of virtual COM port that I could run under Vista that would connect up to the named pipe that VMware Workstation can associate with a COM port inside of a VM guest. Does such a thing exist? Is anybody else successfully doing kernel-mode debugging of a driver on Windows running as a VMware guest?

    - KMDF Buffered vs Direct IO I have a KMDF driver that sets the IO type to Direct and uses WdfRequestRetrieve(Output/Input)Buffer call inside EvtIoRead/EvtIoWrite to get a pointer to the request buffer. This works fine. However, if I switch the device IO type to Buffered, then the WdfRequestRetrieveX functions return SUCCESS status, yet set the buffer pointer to NULL. I don't see any explanation for this in the documentation, as these functions are supposed to work identically regardless for both Direct and Buffered IO type; furthermore, I imagine that a buffer retrieval problem would be indicated by the returned status. Any ideas? Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98391

    - Problem using WriteFile I am using WriteFile to write directly to LPT1, where I have an Epson POS printer. This works fine unless I have a printer (anything, 'Generic / Text only', the printer itself) setup to use LPT1 in windows. Somehow having LPT1 in use in windows is preventing my data from sending correctly. I have enabled the option 'Use any interrupt' on my LPT1, and that works only until I reboot the machine.

    - BSOD in usbuhci Hi Guys, I need your help in debugging a BSOD in usbuhci. Our device sits on uhci controller, has two bulk endpoints - in and out. When application starts streaming I submit 10 bulk in request to the controller, when the request is completed data is copied into user buffer and request (irp/urb/data buffer) is re-sent to the controller. From time to time (once in few seconds) I submit bulk out request. Now the problem: the BSOD I get appears once in a month, at this rate it is very hard to understand under what conditions it occurs. Here is crash dump analysis, hope you'd help me to figure this out. Does the crash happen with bulk in or bulk out request? The bulk in buffers are allocated in system memory, bulk out buffer is a user buffer which is locked and mapped. So what is the problem?

    - When and how does KeDelayExecutionThread get alerted? Hi all, The DDK documetation says: "If the value of Alertable is TRUE and one of the following conditions is present, the thread will be alerted: 1, If the origin of the alert is an internal, undocumented kernel-mode routine used to alert threads. 2, The origin of the alert is a user-mode APC, and the value of the WaitMode parameter is UserMode. In the first of these two cases, the thread's wait is satisfied with a completion status of STATUS_ALERTED; in the second case, it is satisfied with a completion status of STATUS_USER_APC." However, the parameters passed into KeDelayExecutionThread doesn't include any dispatcher object such as event, semaphore, mutex, etc. My question is: By which dispatcher object does current sleeping thread get alerted? Except by user APC. Thanks in advance. Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98358

I tried both with WZC running or stopped, same results. The CreateFile() function returns no error, but DeviceIOControl() returns with error code 1 (ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION) Thanks in advance.

The new one will only be ready months away. And I have to live with the bug sometimes. The bug causes windows fail to configure and allocate resources for the device. So I want to resume the configuration and allocate the resources in my WDM function driver. Is it OK to respond IRP_MN_QUERY_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS or use the legacy IoAssignResource? Since this is for demo usage, and we can tolerate most unstable, buggy or any other noises. Any wild ideas? woodhead Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98332

    - Native WlanAPI: how to ignore the profile mismatch? I am developing a utility to manage the wireless connection. I found that Vista will prevent user to connect to an AP with a mismatch profile, e.g. if user create a profile with OPEN+WEP and want to use this profile to connect to a WPA AP, the 'connect' button will be disabled. So does my utility. When my application made a OPEN+WEP profile and use WlanConnect() to connect to the WPA AP, there is no authentication and association request packet being sent out. Is there anyway to avoid this limitation? Any comment is appreaciated. Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98331

    - Load Filter synchronous question I want to use Loadfilter to load a minifilter from user space. I want to configure the filter before it begins operation (i.e. before FltStartFiltering) I plan to use the FltCreateCommunicationPort and FilterConnectCommunicationPort and FilterSendMessage to pass in the config info. My question (s) * When I return from DriverEntry without calling FltStartFiltering but instead call IoRegisterDriverReinitialization then return an OK status from DriverEntry, when does the reinit-routine get called? And if I finally get all that working: * Can I issue the FltStartFiltering call from a CommPort Message callback ??? Gak - Finecats Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98324

    - Windows XP (SP 2) and USB 2 problem Hello I have just installed a 4 port USB 2 card in my computer. The problem is that when I connected my digital camera, there was a message telling me that the connection would be faster if I had USB 2 Another telltale sign that sth is wrong is that films played on my external drive block (presumably cos the info can't arrive quicly enough) So why doesn't XP recognise a USB 2 card? Anyway, I tried to download a USB 2 driver for Windows and found the Intel Desktop Driver for XP However, on a manual install, XP refuses saying that a more suitable driver is already installed. In system, this drivers seems to be a Microsoft Driver version 5. 1 2600 released 01 June 2002 Is this a USB 2 driver? Hope sm out there can help me.

    - IWiaItemExtras::Escape and VendorReadData? Greetings, I am trying to work with WIA, and I have found the IWiaItemExtras::Escape function. Which can be used to interact with vendor specific commands. But while I use the command I can get the 1st letter specified from the command, but how do I get the acutal data from VendorReadData? It always has 1 byte of data, and I am not sure where to get the output buffer. For example: PTP_VENDOR_DATA_OUT* pDataOut; HRESULT hr = spExtraProps->Escape(ESCAPE_PTP_VENDOR_COMMAND, (BYTE *) pDataIn, dwDataInSize, (BYTE *) pDataOut, dwDataOutSize, &dwActualDataOutSize); When I access the "pData->VendorReadData" it is always the byte[1] size, so I am not sure how to get the actual data.

    - Is AttachedDevice an incorrect paramenter name in the function prototype of IoAttachDevice? Hi all, The function prototype of IoAttachDevice is declared as follows in the DDK documentation. /*********************************/ NTSTATUS IoAttachDevice( IN PDEVICE_OBJECT SourceDevice, IN PUNICODE_STRING TargetDevice, OUT PDEVICE_OBJECT *AttachedDevice ); Parameters SourceDevice Pointer to the caller-created device object. TargetDevice Pointer to a buffer containing the name of the device object to which the specified SourceDevice is to be attached. AttachedDevice Pointer to caller-allocated storage for a pointer. On return, contains a pointer to the target device object if the attachment succeeds. /*********************************/ According to the statement above, AttachedDevice should point to a lower device, i.e the target device. However, in English, if an upper device is attached to a lower device, then the upper device, rather than the lower device, should be called "attached device". So, the last paramenter should be named DeviceAttachedTo or something like this. I'm not a native English speaker. I eagerly hope those who speak English can give me some tips.

    - Windows 2000 and BusTypeiScsi Hi all, I am using iSCSI HBA on Windows 2000 SP4 (with Rollup update1). I want to use MPIO feature of iScsi Initiator services but unable to do so. I can login to target and see the Luns in the Device Manager but mpdev does not seem to claim these Luns. According to Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator User's Guide 2.x, For an HBA to work properly with Microsoft MPIO, HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\hbadevicedriver\Parameters\BusType key should be set to BusTypeiScsi(0x09) so that the Microsoft iSCSI DSM can claim the device. I do see this registry key set but it seems SCSIPORT driver is returning BusTypeScsi for these Luns. The knowledge base article 264203 describes IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY can be used to get the adapter and device properties. When used on my system this IOCTL returned bus type as 1(BusTypeScsi) for Adapter and Device. This is a default bustype returned by SCSIPORT. Can some one help me to get iSCSI HBA working with MPIO on Windows 2000? Thanks. Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98242

    - WPD driver error 10 after reboot Hi all, I am working on a device driver which is based on the WpdWudfSampleDriver (DDK, 6000). Everything is great (driver works as expected and installs/uninstalls, WMP11 recognizes it, etc) until I reboot the PC. After reboot, the driver appears with a yellow exclamation mark icon in the device manager. Properties dialog indicates that "Device cannot start" with error 10. This happens on both Vista 32bit and XP+SP2+WMP11. I tried to compile in different build environments (XP or Vista), also tried the tweaks from WPD team blog about co-installers, nothing helped so far. In addition to that, I realized that even simplest WPD driver example from the DDK (WpdHelloWorldDriver) also works same way (also shows error 10 after PC reboots). Can it be related to the fact that the driver is actually a root-enumerated device (like original WpdWudfSampleDriver) and is not assigned to any USB VID/PID? Or a missing .cat file? missing signature, maybe? I have checked last 10 pages of the newsgroup and did a search, but could not find anything relevant. Did anyone experience same problem? Please, give me some advice on what else I could try/check. Or please, let me know where else I could post this question... thanks and best regards, Sergey Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98240

    - Driver signing question Hey All, Quick question about driver signing. I hope this is the correct forum for my question. I have a device driver for an external PNP device. I am currently signing it and will be shipping it out in my next software release targeting windows vista. I understand that signatures do expire. I'm uncertain if the signature on my signed drivers expire (they do expire, don't they? Where can I find the expiration date?). Furthermore, what will happen when the drivers expire? The drivers, I assume, will still work with the device after the drivers expire, correct? What happens when a user tries to install my device drivers after they expire? Do they just get a notice that the drivers have expired? Thanks in advance, Matt Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98238

    - NMI: Parity check / Memory parity error during debugging Hello everyone, I am a newbie to driver development. Currently, I am working on a PCI driver on Windows XP platform. I have a target that runs my driver and a host on which Windbg runs. The problem I have is as follows: I want to make sure that the operations that are carried out by my ISR routine are correct. Thus, I set a breakpoint in the ISR. The routine is called normally and the breakpoint is reached. However, when I want to access fields of one of my volatile structs in the watch window, the target machine bugchecks giving out the "NMI: Parity check / Memory parity error" error. When the breakpoint is removed, the ISR runs normally. I searched the group posts and the web for possible reasons but could not come across anything like this. Many sites say that ISR should not be debugged "the usual way" like I try to do.Am I doing something wrong regarding this issue? What could be other possible reason for this behaviour? Many thanks in advance! Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98223

    - Fast I/O Functions not being called I'm developing a file system filter driver - same base functionality as FileSpy, but without all the useless bloat, complication, inefficiency and fluff. I have set up my fast I/O table in Driver Entry ... allocated it, checked and double checked every last field (including size ... it's 0x70), assigned it by DriverObject->FastIoDispatch = fastIoDispatch; I broke into KD and double checked every address. No crashes are occurring, no bugs are occurring. DriverObject exits with its FastIoDispatch field assigned to my very valid table. But no fast I/O functions ever get called. When I open non-Microsoft programs, all the disk I/O passes through my filter driver. The very first line of every fast I/O dispatch is a DbgPrint statement. I even tried DbgBreakPoint and a straight inline assembler _asm int 3. They're never called. The standard dispatch routines are being called just fine. Any program I run that comes from Microsoft leaves my driver dead in the water. There is no activity. All other programs run all disk I/O through my driver - when the disk is hit. I understand the difference; when fast I/O is used and why, but I don't understand why such a simple process is not working. Assuming nothing is wrong with my code, it must be something I'm leaving out (although this process is not difficult; how many things are there to leave out?). So I must be doing something stupid to disable these calls. Conceptually, are there any ideas? Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98201

    - NewB question regarding filter drivers Hello driver developers, I am *VERY* new to driver development. As a matter of fact, I do driver installs mostly and now am beginning to learn about developing drivers. Here is my question: We have a filter driver (class filter driver) that should be applied to all Hard Disk Controllers (HDC). The end result should be that all messages to hard disk and optical media should be intercepted by the filter driver. This used to work fine, until the hardware on the system that I am installing this driver on has changed (OS has changed to Vista as well). Now the system uses SATA with AHCI. I have no problem installing the filter on the hard disk, but the filter does not get applied to the optical media for some odd reason. Is it possible to have a filter driver written for devices connected via SATA? On the side note, I am just wondering what creates the following registry key(s) and writes values under them - is it the driver itself or the PNP manager? HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<DriverName>\Enum. Thank you so much, Natalia Tag: NDIS "Light-weight" filter vs VPN ( pptp ) Tag: 98185
