[Mayo, Bill]

This could all be solved by the respective parties answering in the
first person, and then simply placing their own name at the end.  If you
have some auto-signature thing at the end that shows both names, then
whatever--just put your own name above it.  Or don't even do that.  I
can't speak for everyone on this list, but I am unconcerned whether the
message is from Jeffrey or Mary Jane.  The third person is distracting
and makes me immediately start thinking of the Seinfeld episode.

Jeffrey swears by Izarc instead of 7zip (it can open iso files, at least in
version 3.81), and the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools.  Windiff is one of
his most used tools for comparing files and directories.

 

Jeffrey also relies heavily on process monitor from sysinternals.  Also
imgburn is a great tool for creating iso files, and writing them to disks.

The first things to get installed on my boxes are:

Mremote
WinDirStat
PStools
Winrar

UltraISO

There are a few others that I can't remember but they are the main ones, I

Jeffrey swears by Izarc instead of 7zip (it can open iso files, at least in
version 3.81), and the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools.  Windiff is one of
his most used tools for comparing files and directories.

 

Jeffrey also relies heavily on process monitor from sysinternals.  Also
imgburn is a great tool for creating iso files, and writing them to disks.

Re: RE: SysAdmin productivity tools

[Tony Patton]

The first things to get installed on my boxes are:

Firefox
Notepad++
7zip
Mremote
WinDirStat
PStools
Winrar
Ultramon
Snagit
UltraISO

There are a few others that I can't remember but they are the main ones, I
use the last 4 so much that they were worth buying.

I tried Terminals but didn't like it for some reason that I can't now
remember, I think mremote had an issue on W7 x64 which was why I was
looking.

Re: SysAdmin productivity tools

That truly is an awesome list, after some perusal. I may forego the local
pub tonight for a geeky night in testing some of them out, while I organise
my TeraStation folders. I am truly sad.

RE: SysAdmin productivity tools

[Michael B. Smith]

I used mremote for quite a while but switched to Terminals a year or so ago and 
never looked back.

Obviously, most of the tools from Sysinternals.

And here is a list I refer to often when I need something:
