Essential tools: Tools every systems administrator needs to know about and use

If you read this blog regularly, you know that much of what I write about is VBScript. But that’s not completely the goal of this blog. The main goal is to make your life as a systems admin easier! (Scripting just happens to be a big way to accomplish this.) So, on occasion I do write about other topics.

One topic I plan on starting is one for useful tools I find to help make your job easier. (Please don’t applaud, just keep coming back and reading the blog.) To help identify these postings, I will place “Essential Tools:” at the front of the title and tag them “essential tools“.

This will be a virtual corner of the blog that you will be able to find free tools and applications that will either make your life easier or provide those sysadmins with less resources (read budget) than a fortune 500 company gives to the systems administration team to accomplish things.

Stay tuned, the first tool is on the way!
