Coincidently I spoke to the PM on this feature last week about this very issue. It's a known limitation - which requires a re-architecture of the remote debugging engine. Unfortunately, you won't see this supported until a future version of VS.

Geez it would be nice tho. No messing around with users, one port only. Security could be controlled per process via the remote debugging frontend on the remote machine (yes that would require some work) -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Greg Keogh Sent: Monday, 9 August 2010 11:47 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: Remote debugging outside of domain "Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor names 'x'. The Visual Studio Remote Debugger on the target computer cannot connect back to this computer. Authentication failed. Please see Help for assistance." Hi Michael, my condolences. I spent many solid hours of suffering one afternoon last year trying every trick I could think of to get around this exact problem ... I failed. I gave up with remote debugging and used windbg on the server machine to attach to the troublesome process and I eventually found the problem (missing resource files). Sorry I can't offer any more than sympathy. Greg
