Does Visual Studio 2019 remote debugger support Windows Server 2016 Datacenter version?

Question

I've set up a Windows Server 2016 Datacenter on cloud, and I want to remote debug program deployed on that server. But I can't connect the remote debugger from my local PC.

I find that Windows Server 2016 is within the list of supported OS of VS remote debugger, does that mean Windows Server 2016 Datacenter version is also supported?

Hello @Kevin, Liu,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

It should work. What does the error say? Did you follow this document: Set up the remote debugger to set up the remote debugger?

Are you using any proxy? => "Debugging between two computers connected through a proxy isn’t supported."

If the remote debugger has been installed and is successfully running on your server, but you fail to attach to the process, then please check this document: Ports on the remote computer that enable remote debugging and verify if corresponding ports have been opened.

In case you get other errors, please share us the error message for further check.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
