Download Sysinternals Suite 2010-12-15

Microsoft has released a new version of the Sysinternals Suite. 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:

ProcDump v3.01:
This release fixes a bug that could cause ProcDump to crash when used with the miniplus dump option (-mp).

ProcDump v3.0:
This update to ProcDump, a flexible command-line utility for capturing process dumps based on time, CPU, memory, or performance counter thresholds, adds a new dump type, Minidump Plus, that uses heuristics to create the equivalent of full dumps for very large processes, but with large data sections and caches omitted. This has been shown to reduce the size of Exchange process (store.exe) dumps by 50-90%. Thanks go to Andrew Richards from Exchange support at Microsoft for this contribution.

AccessChk v5.01:
This release fixes several bugs, adds support for showing volume-level permissions, and reports objects that it can’t access.

Autoruns v10.06:
This release fixes a bug that could affect delete and disable operations on entries stored as multisz registry values.
