Cant debug any process on the server.

[hexOffender]

I am using VS.net 2003 and the application is on Windows 2000 Advanced server. When I try to attach to a process I get the message "Unable to connect to machine 'servername': There appears to be no suitable logon session on the server. Please verify that you are logged on to the server through Terminal Services or you are logged on to the server locally."

Well If I was logged in locally I wouldn't need to remote debug...

Set up remote debugging
To use remote debugging, you must add the appropriate user to the Debugger Users group on the remote computer. To do this, follow these steps:
On the remote computer, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
In the Computer Management list, expand System Tools, expand Local Users and Groups, and then expand Groups.
Double-click Debugger Users.
To add the appropriate user to the Debugger Users group, click Add in the Debugger Users Properties dialog box.
In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, enter the appropriate user (for example Domain1\User1) in the Enter the object names to select field, and then click OK two times.
Close the Computer Management tool.
To set up and test remote debugging, follow these steps:
Use the local computer to build a Web solution on the remote computer, and then debug it. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
Click Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
On the File menu, point to New and then click Project.
In the New Project dialog box, click Visual Basic Projects under Project Types.

Note In Visual Studio 2005, click Visual Basic under Project Types.
Under Templates, click ASP.NET Web Application.
Enter a URL on the remote server for the location (for example,

http://RemoteServer/WebApp).

Visual Studio .NET or Visual Studio 2005 creates the solution.
Open WebForm1.aspx in the designer.
Double-click the designer to open the Code Editor window.

You are in the Page_Load event.
Add the following code line to Page_Load:
Response.Write("This is a test")

While you are on this line, press F9 to set a breakpoint.

I think part of the problem is the server is also a Domain Controller, so I cant set up users locally. I am already a member of the Domain debuggers group, but that hasn't helped with this issue.

I finally figured it out, The server had .net 2.0 and 1.1 installed. After I removed the 2.0 I was able to debug. But I also had to make a change to DCOM to allow integrated windows login from my machine.
