Microsoft PsTools

Microsoft PsTools is a set of command-line utilities that allow users to manage and troubleshoot Windows systems. These tools are developed and maintained by Microsoft and provide advanced functionalities for system administrators and IT professionals.

PsTools includes various utilities, such as PsExec, PsKill, and PsPing. Each tool serves a specific purpose, enabling users to execute processes remotely, terminate processes on local or remote systems, and measure network performance.

PsExec, for instance, allows users to run processes on remote systems without installing software on each individual machine. PsKill makes it easy to terminate processes that are in use or unresponsive. Meanwhile, PsPing measures network latency and bandwidth between two endpoints.

All of the utilities in the PsTools suite are designed to be used in command-line interfaces (CLI). By utilizing these powerful tools effectively, administrators can automate tasks, troubleshoot issues, and improve system performance.
