Defrag Tools #164 - Sysinternals for Nano Server - Mark Russinovich | Defrag Tools | Channel 9
In this episode of Defrag Tools, Mark Russinovich and Andrew Mason (Program Manager for Nano Server) join Andrew Richards to discuss the release of the Sysinternals tools for Windows Server - Nano Server.
Over 40 of the Sysinternals tools have been updated to support the headless execution on Nano Server via a remote shell (e.g. PowerShell, PsExec, SSH). You can download the full set by clicking on the Sysinternals Nano Server Suite on the Sysinternals suite page, and each tool that supports Nano Server reports that on its download page. The Nano versions are also compatible with 64-bit Windows and have "64.exe" as their suffix in the download files. Many of the updated tools include bug fixes as well.
There is a undocumented change in SDelete in this version.
Previously to write zeros to free space you would enter SDelete -z and it would zero the current drive.
You now have to specify a drive (SDelete -z c: for example)
I only mention it as it isn't mentioned in the help and if you run VMs it saves you a lot of space if you run SDelete after cleaning up after an upgrade before you reduce the size of your vhd.
You should perhaps add a link to PSTools to this thread. It is also handy (and relevant as written by the same guys). psexec.exe in particular is useful.
No need, they are part of the sysinternals suite
The tools included in the PsTools suite, which are downloadable as a package, are:
- PsExec - execute processes remotely
- PsFile - shows files opened remotely
- PsGetSid - display the SID of a computer or a user
- PsInfo - list information about a system
- PsPing - measure network performance
- PsKill - kill processes by name or process ID
- PsList - list detailed information about processes
- PsLoggedOn - see who's logged on locally and via resource sharing (full source is included)
- PsLogList - dump event log records
- PsPasswd - changes account passwords
- PsService - view and control services
- PsShutdown - shuts down and optionally reboots a computer
- PsSuspend - suspends processes
- PsUptime - shows you how long a system has been running since its last reboot (PsUptime's functionality has been incorporated into PsInfo)
