Sysinternals purchased by Microsoft
August 2nd, 2006If you haven’t heard of Sysinternals you better visit their Website while it’s still live (and free) because they have been purchased by Microsoft. Sysinternals has a huge list of free Windows utilities that are very useful for system administrators.
The Sysinternals web site provides you with advanced utilities, technical information, and source code related to Windows internals that you won’t find anywhere else.
Some of my favorite utilities are:
- BlueScreen – A “blue screen of death” screensaver : )
- Junction -Â Symbolic links for Windows
- Du – Disk usage by directory
- MoveFile -Â Schedule file rename and delete commands for the next reboot
- Process Explorer – Task Manager on steriods
