Do you use SysInternals tools? Did you know they were acquired by Microsoft?
Check it out – SYSinternals was aquired by Microsoft and they have been slowly integrating their tools into MS OS’s.
You can find all of their tools here.
We use a lot of these on a daily basis like WHOIS and PSTools, PSMon, PageDefrag, SDelete, PSKill, Handle, and PSInfo among others. These programs make the admin’s job a lot easier. Do you use any of these? Are there better alternatives?
Post your experiences and favorite networking/security/administration tools in the comments or hit us up at info @ asktheadmin dot com. (Every time I type dot com I have a google commercial going off in my head; they sure did a good job back in 2000! dot coooooooom!)

BSOD screensaver is funny. It simulates a windows blue screen of death, and even acts like it is rebooting. The Windows XP splash screen comes up and everything. When people walk by your desk they totally flip out. It is also fun to put it on someone’s workstation if they forgot to lock the screen, then set it to run.
