Resource Kits


Microsoft sells Resource Kits for its various operating systems, which usually consist of a box containing advanced documentation in printed form and management and diagnostic tools on an accompanying CD-ROM. Some of the Resource Kits' text is available online; for example, the XP Pro Resource Kit text is at www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/ Windows /XP/all/reskit/en-us.

Resource Kits are available for Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Window XP Professional, and Windows Server 2003. The Resource Kit for Windows XP Professional is a book only and does not include software tools. However, you can use tools from the Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows Server 2003 Resource Kits on Windows XP Professional or Home Edition.

The tools number about 300 and many are quite useful. It's worth obtaining a copy of them for use in your organization. If you subscribe to the Microsoft Developer's Network, you may find that the Resource Kit tools are already included as part of your subscription, and are downloadable or are provided on your library CD- or DVD-ROMs. You can also download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools from www.microsoft.com/downloads for freesearch for Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools.

For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/reskits/rktmain.mspx.

Tip

To help you familiarize yourself with the tools, you might want to put shortcuts to their help files on your desktop for easy access. These help files are part of the Windows Help system so the actual command line to open them is complex. It's best to create the shortcut by copying an existing one. To do this, find the Resource Kit help entry in the Start menu under, for example, All Programs, Windows Resource Kit Tools. Right-click the Help entry and drag the help icon to your desktop. When windows prompts you, choose Copy Here.


Table A.7 lists the Resource Kit tools. The Kit column lists the Resource Kit(s) in which the tool is included: 2 for the Windows 2000 Professional and Server kits, and 3 for the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit.
