Not quite. You can create a separate process with "explorer /separate". This
works great in XP with runas for creating an explorer window under a different

but it still gets created without admin group in the token.

WinSCP: I deal with Linux servers, so this is extremely useful for me.
WinDirStat: Probably the weakest one on my list, but I find I use it often.

Frankly, yes. Few alternatives:
Add a workstation to the server room.
Repurpose an existing server as a workstation.
Use a VM as a workstation.

I'm curious why you want wireshark on every server? It seems to just increase
attack service unnecessarily. Any time I need to see the network traffic, I'd
rather mirror the port on the switch or put a sniffer in-line. Not to say I'd
*never* want it on the server; it just seems a bit extreme. U

On VMWare, if you have the .vmdk, you have the really important stuff. I would
be REALLY surprised if the VHD isn't all you need on HyperV.

If you have a subnet mask of 255.255.254.0, then you have one range of
192.168.0.0 - 192.268.1.255 (aka 192.168.0.0 /23) with a network address of
192.168.0.0 and a broadcast address of 192.168.1.255. If you change the subnet
mask to 255.255.252.0, then you'll have a range of 192.168.0.0 - 192.
Do you mean .255? There is no .256. Each octet goes from 0 to 255 for a total
of 256 values.
