How to load symbols

From the link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917684.aspx#XSLTsection134121120120
I figure that I need to run the foll code in the bottom box in the windbg tool.
"
10: kd> SRV*c:\windows\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
"
But I get the error:
Couldn't resolve error at 'RV*c:\windows\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols'

What am I doing wrong?
thanks

did you save that file path into File>symbol file path ?

you can also use bluescreenview to analyse quickly dumps : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

nobus,
if I am going to run the dump file in a xp machine, but the crash happened in another server, will that work. For example, in the download page, http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/symbolpkg.mspx#d which version should use to download: xp or OSServer?

Also bluescreenview is not able to analyze real dumps, only mini dumps.

thanks

nobus

i have no experience with server software, but imo as long as you load the proper symbols it should work ok.

nobus, let's say the dump is from XP machine. should you download the files from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/symbolpkg.mspx#d to a folder, and then put the folder in File>symbol file path ?

because http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols said it is automatic download site, that is why i try the command line "10: kd> SRV*c:\windows\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols"

The error screen i get is as attached:
thanks
