“This list of 10 free, essential tools is an amalgam of tools
for all sizes of companies and networks. The range of tools covered
here are generally cross-platform (i.e., they run on multiple OSes)
but all are extremely useful to the system administrator, network
administrator and first-level support personnel. While all of these
tools are free to download and use in your network without payment
of any kind to their developers or maintainers, not all are open
source. The 10 essential tools listed here, in no particular order,
are from various sources and represent the very best in tools
currently used in large and small enterprises alike.

“1. PSTools

“PSTools is a suite of useful command-line Windows tools that IT
professionals consider essential to survival in a Windows-infested
network. It provides automation tools that have no rival. There is
no greater free toolset for Windows available anywhere. Microsoft
provides this suite free of charge. If it’s not part of your
Windows diagnostic and automation arsenal, stop reading and
download it now. Be sure to come back and finish the list. You can
multitask, can’t you?)”
