W2K Resource Kit Tools @ Daniels Petri's MCSEworld

You can download the Windows 2000 Resource Kit software tools listed on this page for free and install them on your computer. These utilities can help you streamline administrative tasks such as managing Active Directory, administering security features, working with Group Policy and Terminal Services, automating application deployment, and other important jobs. Nearly 300 such tools are included on the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit companion CD.

These tools are designed to be installed and run only on Microsoft Windows 2000. They are neither localized nor supported by Microsoft.

Note: Microsoft only lets you download a subset of the original Resource Kit Tools. I've managed to gather many other tools for you to download besides the ones from Microsoft. These tools are linked as direct downloads, while the MS-provided ones link you to a description page from where you can download the files.

Note: Please note that these are NOT the entire Reskit tools set. The Reskit has a greater number of tools and documentation, and it is one of the most valuable resources for system administrators. To read more about the W2K Reskit please see my Book Recommendations page (where you can also buy the package and other valuable books).

Sticky status? This is a good thread.

For WinXP you can get the Resource Kit for Free from Microsoft's site (has a lot of good commandline utilities).
 
I'll ask odoe once its "done" right now Id really like more contributions which will get organized and then redone in a new thread, which hopefully will then be sticky

I think I'm going to try and keep this as part of a larger FAQ for later on. I'll have to get with Bob on it. I just don't want to clutter the top of the forum with stickies. Let me get home tonight, get some coffee and resist the urge to play Frag Ops and I might get something done. :p
 
Looking for some help regarding this tool recently dispatched in the SP2 package. I was at first under the understanding that this tool could be used to edit the power settings in Windows XP Pro across all profiles at once. I just discovered after trying it that this is not the case. Apparently, it only edits the power settings in the way you specify for the profile that you're logged on to at the time you run the utility.

So my Q is... is there a way to use this tool - or any other tool, for that matter - to set the power settings across all profiles simulataneously? We're wanting to do this in order to keep a conference room PC from sleeping or turning off the monitor in the middle of a presentation, when the PC might be "idle" for 15 minutes or more while discussing any particular slide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
