Part of my job as an IT instructor is to "fill your toolbox" with the "tools" that you will need for your career in IT. Sometimes those "tools" are simply knowledge that I impart, other times they are skills I help you develop. And sometimes, they are actual tools.
Back in July 2006, Microsoft acquired a web site called Sysinternals. The site holds numerous advanced system utilities that can be used for gathering information and troubleshooting.
The URL for the site is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx
Go explore the site and see if you can find something that you can use. In addition to utilities, you will also find guides, blogs, webcasts, and links to other sites that will help you increase your knowledge base.
Feel free to try some of the utilities on your personal computer. However, please remember that downloading and installing software on ECC computers without permission violates the IT Security Policy. (That means don't install anything on the lab computers!) If you would like to test some of the software on a campus computer, please see me and I will provide you with a hard drive that you can use.
