Well, finally I deployed a symbol server and _NT_SYMBOL_PATH everywhere
here so let's see if it goes smoothly :)
Is it interesting to deploy binaries or just PDBs on the symbol server?
What is your experience?
Binaries on the symbol server are needed if you are going to debug dumps
(the debugger will have to find matching binaries in that case). If you only do live
debugging, binaries are not needed.
I usually prefer to organize things in the following way:
- Binaries and symbols are stored on a file server, in build-oriented directory structure
- Only pointers to the binary and symbol files are stored on the symbol server
(use symstore with /p option)
As a result, symbol server (store) does not take much disk space, and can be deleted
and easily regenerated if necessary (e.g. if some intermediate builds were removed
from the file server after product release).
