List of tools used by (the plural) you.

cnfuzzd

So as I kept watching an exchange server not boot the other night, I decided to search through the forums for a list of all the neat tools you guys have posted about in past threads. I thought newbies like me and others might like a catch up list. As i was very tired when I compiled it, it is not very detailed, and things have been left off. If you guys want to add on, I will append the list with your additions.


ExBPA
MDSA
Windows Support Tools (DCdiag, replmon etc)
Powershell
ntbackup
robocopy
"command prompt here"
printmig
smtpdiag
wireshark
sysinternals(psmon, pstools etc)
synctoy
active ports
look@lan
Dameware NT Utilities
GPMC
memtest
nbtscan
tweakui
mwsnap
seagate/wd hdd tools
Darik's Boot and Nuke
HDD Regenerator
RockXP
belarc advisor
ERD Commander


thanks!

Are you trying to centralise useful tools to have? if so, maybe we could create a sticky somewhere for reference which could be updated?

While this is a good idea you need to atleast provide a description of each tool or collect them under the same banner so people know what they are

You will also have to ask webmaster first if its ok to do so

Just glancing at the list, you're missing netdiag, dcdiag, replmon, and repadmin.

Oh, and the mods have been delegated the power to create stickies in their respective forums as well.

Well i guess these are ok for windows users but what about everything outside the imaginary Windows world

Yup. If we're going to start a list of tools and useful sites, links to those places might be nice. (Yes, this is going to be a LOT of work for the original poster, but that's the nature of compiling useful information. )
