I'm trying to remote debug a service using visual studio 2005.
When I run msvsmon.exe as an application, I get the UI and I can change it to noauth and anyuser, then when i try to attach to the process from visual studio remotely, i get an erro saying that it can't attach to a process being run in a session that msvsmon.exe isn't running in. The session of the service is 0.
So I can successfully run msvsmon.exe as a service, but I can't set it up to be in /noauth and /anyuser mode.
The binPath for the service is: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86\msvsmon.exe" /service msvsmon90
both /noauth and /anyuser are the commandline switches for msvsmon.
Filling out the 'start parameters' in the service properties window doesn't affect anything.
changing the binPath of the service to:
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86\msvsmon.exe" /service msvsmon90 /noauth /anyuser
also does not work (as the service fails to start properly).
How do i get the remote debugging monitor to run as a service in noauth and anyuser mode?

Start Visual Studio with administrative credentials so you can attach to system processes. (Optional) On the Visual Studio menu bar, choose Tools, Options. In the Options dialog box, choose Debugging, Symbols, select the Microsoft Symbol Servers check box, and then choose the OK button.
Start the service (you can use net start , or start it in the Services window). You should see a dialog box like the following: Select Yes, debug <service name>. In the Just-In-Time Debugger window, select the version of Visual Studio you want to use for debugging.
Set a breakpoint on the line you want to inspect in the debugger. The declaration of the PORT variable is an excellent place to start. Next, go to the Run and Debug menu in the sidebar and select Run script: start. This will execute the application in the remote environment and attach the Node debugger.
The original generated Main() is like the one below. To debug without installing, add the code as follow, mainly #if (! DEBUG). You will be able to step through the code when you run the Windows Service without installing.
Not sure if this would work for you, but have you tried using psexec (from sysinternals) to run msvsmon interactively on session 0?
The command-line would be something like this (from an elevated command-prompt):
psexec –sd –i 0 "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86\msvsmon.exe" /noauth /anyuser
I'm doing something similar to debug some code when logging off of Windows.
