SYSINTERNALS Utilities

Some of the Microsoft takeovers are cool. One of them seems to be the takeover of the company SYSINTERNALS.

I have been a fan of their

- File and Disk Utilities

- Networking Utilities

- Process Utilities

- Security Utilities

- System Information Utilites

- Miscellaneous Utilities

Some of these are cool:

Process Monitor

FileMon

This monitoring tool lets you see all file system activity in real-time.

PsTools

The PsTools suite includes command-line utilities for listing the processes running on local or remote computers, running processes remotely, rebooting computers, dumping event logs, and more.

PsExec - execute processes remotely

PsFile - shows files opened remotely

PsGetSid - display the SID of a computer or a user

PsInfo - list information about a system

PsKill - kill processes by name or process ID

PsList - list detailed information about processes

PsLoggedOn - see who's logged on locally and via resource sharing (full source is included)

etc
