Windows Admin Tools

The following is a list of all the tools that I use in day to day windows administration. More tools and details of each will follow in time.

Sysinternals: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/

A number of tools for different purposes.


TreeSize Free: https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/

Good for determining storage usage.


Advanced IP Scanner: https://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/

Ideal for scanning subnets and finding out what exists.


Notepad++ (and it’s many add ons): https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Useful for many reasons, including comparing files.


Putty: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Light weight terminal emulator for managing devices.


Wireshark: https://www.wireshark.org/

Network traffic capture tool, I reckon I only scratch the surface with what this tool can do.
