Spread the love

Microsoft released a new version of the Sysinternals Suite on Tuesday. This package is a collection of useful tools for managing systems and obtaining comprehensive information about the computer. In this way, all kinds of problems can be detected and solved. The individual tools are being developed by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, initially for Sysinternals and now for Microsoft. Some examples are Process Explorer, Bginfo, contig and disk mon. In total it concerns a collection of 66 different tools. Since the previous entry in the Meuktracker, the following components in the Suite have been updated:

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.

Sign check 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.).

Core Info 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.

Core Info 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.
