Microsoft heeft dinsdag een nieuwe versie van de Sysinternals Suite de deur uit gedaan. Dit pakket is een verzameling van handige tools waarmee systemen kunnen worden beheerd en uitgebreide informatie over de computer kan worden ingewonnen. Zo kunnen allerlei problemen worden opgespoord en verholpen. De afzonderlijke tools worden ontwikkeld door Mark Russinovich en Bryce Cogswell, in eerste instantie voor Sysinternals en tegenwoordig dus voor Microsoft. Enkele voorbeelden zijn Process Explorer, Bginfo, Contig en Diskmon. In totaal gaat het om een verzameling van 66 verschillende tools. Sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker zijn de volgende onderdelen in de Suite bijgewerkt:
Autoruns v10:
This major update to Autoruns introduces the ability to scan offline Windows installations, adds .exe and .cmd extension handlers, defaults to hiding Windows entries to reduce noise in the common use case, and includes bug fixes.
Process Explorer v12.04:
This Process Explorer release adds the ability to generate full and minidump process crash dump files and fixes a bug in the process permission dialog.
Sigcheck v1.7:
This version of Sigcheck, a file version and signature verification command-line utility, now returns an exit code of 0 to indicate that all code it checked was signed and 1 to report that some were unsigned.
ProcDump v1.8:
This version of ProcDump, a command-line process crash-dump generation tool, includes comments in the crash dump that reflect the reason that the dump was generated (memory threshold hit, CPU threshold hit, manual, etc.).
Coreinfo v2.11:
Coreinfo does require XP 64-bit or higher for client (server 2003 or higher for server). This update fixes the bug where it would fail to launch on 32-bit XP instead of reporting compatibility requirements.
Coreinfo v2.1:
Memory access from a processor to memory on remote NUMA nodes takes longer than local-node memory accesses. In addition to dumping NUMA topology information, Coreinfo now measures and displays the internode access costs on NUMA systems.
Process Monitor v2.91:
This update to Process Monitor makes it easy to configure process filters from the process tree dialog with the addition of two buttons, one that sets a filter for the selected process and another that sets a filter for the selected process and its descendants.
Disk Usage: v1.34:
This release fixes a bug that prevented DU from honoring the /accepteula command-line switch.
RAMMap v1.0:
Have you ever wondered how Windows allocates physical memory or what’s using it? RAMMap is a new utility for analyzing system RAM usage on Windows Vista and Windows 7 that provides insight never before available. RAMMap shows information about each page of memory, summaries of memory usage by type, views of file data stored in memory, and more (portions based on code by Alex Ionescu).
LogonSessions v1.21:
This fixes a bug that prevented logonsessions from showing full token information in some cases on 64-bit windows.
