At first I wasn’t sure what you were talking about, but then I found this
blog post:
http://www.remkoweijnen.nl/blog/2009/04/16/unable-to-get-system-pte-individual-lock-consumer-information-error-when-using-sysptes-4-in-windbg/
Is that what you’re trying to follow? If so, that person left out a few
minor details necessary to actually make this work 
First, their command line uses a mythical, “headers” directory as the
include path. So, that’s why you’re getting so many build errors. You need
to point the compiler to the WDK header files to resolve your errors. Also,
you don’t need VS at all, you can do this entirely with the WDK.
I’ll try to break down the actual steps you need to do:
- First, figure out which kernel PDB you’re using. You can do this in
WinDBG:
1: kd> lml mnt
start end module name
804d4000 806b9000 nt (pdb symbols)
c:\websymbols\ntkrnlmp.pdb\785137BF3F3C484BA434E743DFECA8033\ntkrnlmp.pdb
Grab that PDB from your symbol cache and copy it someplace like,
c:\ptetracker
- Create a ptetracker.c file in the same directory as the PDB with the
following in it:
#include <ntddk.h>
typedef struct PTE_TRACKER {
LIST_ENTRY ListEntry;
PMDL Mdl; PFN_NUMBER Count;
PVOID SystemVa;
PVOID StartVa;
ULONG Offset;
ULONG Length;
PFN_NUMBER Page;
struct {
ULONG IoMapping: 1;
ULONG Matched: 1;
ULONG CacheAttribute : 2;
ULONG Spare : 28;
};
PVOID CallingAddress;
PVOID CallersCaller;
} PTE_TRACKER, *PPTE_TRACKER;
PTE_TRACKER PteTracker;
3) Open up a Server 2003 build environment window and execute the following
command:
cl.exe /Zi /Gz /c /Fdntkrnlmp /IC:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\ddk
/Ic:\winddk\7600.16385.1\inc\crt /D_X86=1 PteTracker.c
NOTE: You’ll need to replace the /Fd parameter with the name of your kernel
(it differs depending on the Windows version).
4) Copy the PDB from c:\ptetracker back to the original location that you
found in step 1.
If it all works properly, you should be able to open LiveKD again and
execute this command:
dt nt!_pte_tracker
And get a structure definition.
Good luck!

Hi All,
I’m having a PTE issue on my Citrix servers and get the familiar “Unable to
get System PTE individual lock consumer information” when using LiveKD
I’ve installed VS 08 and WDK 7.1 in trying to update the PDB file, but am
getting hundreds of errors relating to the WDK header files while trying to
use cl.exe which is part of VS 08.
I know this is documented that WDK and VS don’t like to work together, but
has someone got this working, or can someone help get me a modified PDB so I
can track my problem please.
Sorry, about this, but I am not a programmer, only a Citrix techie.
Geoff
