Download Sysinternals Suite 2011-02-01

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 v3.02:
This update to ProcDump, a command-line utility that can capture process dumps based on performance or behavioral triggers, adds more information to the minidump plus dump type, and ignores breakpoint exceptions unless overridden with the new -b switch. It also leverages the installed Debugging Tools for Windows debug DLL, enabling it to save more complete information in a dump file.

Contig v1.6:
Contig, a command-line utility that enables you to defrag individual files, now supports defragmentation of NTFS metadata files, including the MFT.

TCPView v3.03:
This update to TCPView, a utility for monitoring process TCP and UDP endpoints, fixes a formatting bug for remote IPV6 addresses.

Handle v3.45:
This release fixes a bug that could in some cases cause a system crash.

Handle v3.44:
This updates the driver to the newest version used by Process Explorer.
