Amusing moment at the office

We are currently carrying out an excercise at the office that involves a lot of interaction with sysadmins across the country. On one site my colleague seemed to be having a problem with getting the software installed. Suspecting a lack of free space, I asked her to check with the sysadmin, the size of his disk. She proceeded to do so over text chat, with a little spelling mistake. :))

A few utilities

I have not been blogging much. Many things happening, not all of them nice.
A few tools that look nice, not checked them out yet.
MS Log Parser 2.2 gives access to text-based data such as log files, XML files and CSV files, as well as the Windows operating system Event Log, the Registry, the file system, and Active Directory. Download it here. If you want to see some example of its use try this article on searchwin200.
Actually, its a good idea to look at the other tools from MS for scripting.
Another password reset for Windows, Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. Its free. Hes got a boot disk too.
Or you may want to try Bart's PE, that gives you a complete Win32 system with network support and a graphical user interface.
If you feel someones being naughty with your Windows, then look at it with the Windows Forensic Toolchest. Its command line based. These tools will also help in grabbing an image of the system.
And I always love Win32 Ports of GNU Utilities.
