So a bit back I asked what tools that SBSers should have on hand and here are some answers…
Besides www.Eventid.net and www.Experts-Exchange.com and the others mentioned by Susan I find having a Bart’s PE Builder CD on hand with recent antivirus and antispyware a real life saver. See http://nu2.nu/pebuilder/ . I also have on the CD GetDataBack and other utilities from http://www.runtime.org/ . The RunTime.org people have even provided the plugins for Bart PE. If you have ever lost a volume on a drive due to disk failure, this utility will amaze you with the data it can recover if the drive still spins.

Good start, but let’s not forget:
– pathping (built-in) – ldp (support tools & far better than adsiedit, IMHO)
– shutdown (resource kit)
– Duke Nukem (need you ask?)
– whois (resource kit)
– winsocktool (http://www.isatools.org/ )
– portqry http://support.microsoft.com/?id=832919

– netsh -diag (built-in)
– netstat -anob (built-in)
