too bad that this share cannot be accessed, it just proves how many isps’ are blocking 139 and 445….

however there’s a web server at live.sysinternals.com and you can quickly wget the updated versions from there.

Jarred, sometimes I wonder if Microsoft is taking the challenge of Google and others seriously. I just hope that the other Live products they are planning will be convincing.

Jim, you have a point there. But maybe it would be better to just copy all tools to a network share together with the rest of your troubleshooting tools. I agree, though, that there are circumstances where Sysinternals Live could be useful. However, my main critique was that they use the Live brand for this purpose. They could at least have offered a page with a little description of each tool.

SLam, I wonder why use web server for this purpose and not just a network share?

I actually setup an internal web server just for this purpose.. at least now I can access it remotely and from anywhere..

I was expecting more.. but hey, at least this is better than nothing!

There are times when this could come in handy when you’re providing remote support for a server and don’t have physical access to the hardware to plug in your USB drive.

I agree with your thoughts. When I saw it my initial thought was, “WTF?”. I was expecting something… more.

Thanks for the tip. I wasn’t aware that the Suite contains all important tools. Only the non-troubleshooting tools are missing. This way you can even save 1MB on your “Sysinternals Live stick”.

You can get all these tools in the SysInternal Suite and keep it on your USB drive. This is what I do at the moment. I like it because its a easy way of always having the latest version of all the tools available.
