The Windows NT and Windows 2000 Resource Kits come with a number of command line tools that help you administer your Windows NT/2K systems.
Over time, I've grown a collection of similar tools, including some not included in the Resource Kits. What sets these tools apart is that they all allow you to manage remote systems as well as the local one.
This PsTools package provides a set of command line utilities that allow you to manage local and remote systems.
The tools included in the PsTools suite are:
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
PsLogList - dump event log records
PsPasswd - changes account passwords
PsService - view and control services
PsShutdown - shuts down and optionally reboots a computer
PsSuspend - suspend and resume processes
Requirements:
· Some of the tools require that the default admin$ share be available and/or that the Remote Registry service be active.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· PsTools Updates: These PsTools utilities have been updated to fix several bugs, including one that sometimes prevented them from performing remote registry access - PsExec, PsGetSid, PsInfo, PsList, PsLoggedOn, PsLogList, and PsService.
