Windows 2000 Resource Kit Tools (Page 2)

There are a number of Windows 2000 Resource Kit software tools available for free download from Microsoft. We'll discuss them briefly here. These utilities can help you streamline administrative tasks such as managing Active Directory™, administering security features, working with Group Policy and Terminal Services, automating application deployment, and other important jobs. Nearly 300 such tools are included on the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit companion CD.

These tools are designed to be installed and run only on Microsoft® Windows 2000. They are neither localized nor supported by Microsoft.

Apimon.exe: API Monitor - [more info - download (969KB)]

This tool monitors a running application for all Application Programming Interface (API) calls a process is making. APIMon counts and times the API calls. It also, optionally, monitors page faults caused by the monitored application and reports them by API call.

Clusrest.exe: Cluster Quorum Restore Utility - [more info - download (926KB)]

This tool is used in a Microsoft® Windows® 2000 cluster after a node has been restored using NtBackup, a component of the Windows 2000 operating system. NtBackup leaves the quorum data in a directory on the node's disk, but does not restore it to the quorum disk at that time. Restoring the quorum disk requires that the cluster be stopped and restarted, which may not be necessary or desirable. If a quorum disk requires a restore, the cluster is most likely down and the operation will not negatively impact operation.
