Useful Tools for IT Pros

[@benjaminwallis4548]

The intro to this video is so comparative to what a sysadmin would say in the a work environment. "I'm gonna set this policy, you're going to use this policy, then I'm going to tell you that this policy can't go away due to compliance reasons and we actually have make the policy even more complex"... 'Acclimation' the sysadmins don't get eaten alive is a real thing. Keep fighting the good fight.

[@ProTechShow]

Haha, thanks. I didn't even think of it that way. Old habits, maybe!

[@noisepollution42]

Great descriptions and use cases. My jaw dropped when you said you can access sysinternals as an SMB fileshare. Outstanding content.

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks!

[@Shirtysneez]

Same here. I already knew about sysinternals and have used some of their tools in the past but having them readily available from a UNC-path is pretty amazing and super handy when I'm servicing a clients server.

[@jozefwoo8079]

I knew all the tools but still enjoyed watching this as you put some of them in another fresh perspective!

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks 🙂

[@pinkmillk]

You already know - If we're here, we're looking for more! Keep up the great work!

[@ProTechShow]

Haha thanks!

Hello Andrew, I loved your video, I didn't know your channel, I'm trying to improve myself in support and I came across Sysinternals Suite again. I'm quite new to many aspects of IT, but I'm enthusiastic, I'll take a closer look at your channel and if you can, make more videos about the suite of tools. I liked the way you express yourself, I'm Brazilian and I don't understand your language well, but it's very easy to understand your content. Thanks and keep up your great work.

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks!

Great video, but still love putty when on windows, or Terminus when using IPad Pro. I have not used telnet for about 25 years i think that would have been back in the SunOS days.

[@ProTechShow]

Cheers. I have got a soft spot for Putty, but I'm starting the like the Windows Terminal so I can stick background images on different profiles and remind myself what device I'm connected to!

[@safetime100]

Very helpful, thanks. Please do more with quick how to use for each.

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks

[@W3ASR]

Great video. Thank you! I just subscribed and I will be on the look out for more.

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks 🙂

[@jacobwahid2470]

Great one, we need more. Thanks a lot dear!

[@ProTechShow]

I'd best put that video on the todo list then!

The problem with 7zip is the developer refuses to add a digital signature so it is an easy way to get malware on to your system.

[@peroz007]

7zip also useful for SHA and checksum check

[@ProTechShow]

Good point. Use it all the time!

[@davidweiss2784]

Incredibly great Video, please keep on doing!

Thanks!

Hi Andrew, thanks again, for this wonderful tips. Hopefully if you can give us more exclusive tutorial about system internals, there are few tutorials out there but i really believe you can give us MORE CLEARER PICTURE on how to use it efficiently in real world scenarios.

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks! Was there a particular Sysinternals tool you had in mind?

[@YoloTravelExplorer]

I would love to learn about "Process Explorer" or anything that will exactly pin point what's really causing the system to freeze/run slow/black screen/BSOD as well.

[@idcrafter-cgi]

the windows ssh tool is lacing a lot of features like X over ssh and i don't think it can use key pairs

[@ProTechShow]

It does support key-based authentication but it's a fairly bare-bones client. Not the most feature-rich, but the fact it's preinstalled is very useful - particularly on servers where you can't simply drop in your own preferred tools.

[@jus4027]

Great presentation skills my friend

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks!

[@Faisalkhamis1177]

Remote Desktop Manager is my favorite tool. You should add it to your list.

[@ProTechShow]

I'll check it out!

[@DikoJelev]

Cool. Thanks. Pls record a video with more tools.

[@idcrafter-cgi]

Ark is a FOSS and nice archive manager for Linux and other platforms

[@ProTechShow]

Never used it, but useful to know. Thanks.

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks, and yes you are correct!

[@JosephFallon]

Moar please. I bet you've got File Locator Free in there too somewhere, haven't you? I can tell...

[@ProTechShow]

I don't, but I shall take a look. I used PowerShell to search for files containing certain text recently but this looks easier!

[@JosephFallon]

@@ProTechShow Goes like the clappers. Haven't used Windows search in years. Formerly known as Agent Ransack (you can see why they changed it. Not the best name to show up in an application scan :))

[@ProTechShow]

Shame they renamed it. I could have played a game of download it and count the seconds before I get a call from our SOC. 😁

mRemoteNG and Xming

[@ProTechShow]

Thanks for the suggestions. I feel like I need to play with Xming...

[@michaelbrown7142]

Not trying to make fun of your ascent but every time you said tools, to me it sounds like toes, so I would hear, 7 toes, 8 toes, or well over 100 toes. HA HA HA! Thanks I enjoyed your videos.

[@ProTechShow]

That sounds like a pain to find socks for. Glad you liked it anyway!

[@dkbin7429]

dude why do you look like cgi?

Maybe we're all still in the Matrix?

How many of you IT Pro guys use MacBook for SysAdmin tasks and so on?
