21. PSTools from Sysinternals: The PsTools suite includes command-line
utilities for listing the processes running on local or remote computers,
running processes remotely, rebooting computers, dumping event logs, and
more.
22. Frankly, anything available at:
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml
FileMon, RegMon, and PSTools are very regular tools in my arsenal.
Great thread... anyone with some better secretarial skills than me should
compile them (with links where available) and stick it on TheThin or in a
PDF file for reference...

Subject: [windows2000] Free Program List
We're on a low budget here, and I've spent alot of time finding free
programs, I thought I might share a short list of some of the better ones,
and perhaps some other people on the list have some suggestions as well.
(in no particular order)
1) Mozilla - Great internet web browser, blocks pop ups, tabbed view, new
version even supports NTLM
2) Reg Cleaner - Written by Jouni Vourio, does an excellent job at clearing
out the junk entries, doesn't alwasy work well on multi-processor machines,
but I've never had it CAUSE a problem, even on my servers.
3) FileZilla - FTP program GPL license, used to use SmartFTP but it's no
longer free for commercial use
4) SpybotSD - Great for removing all that AD and SPYWARE junk, has an
immunizer for IE
5) EasyTerm - Terminal Emulator for gui telnet sessions
6) OpenOffice - Everything you need in an office package, has 98% of the
features of MS Office, can open and save in MS format, we use it here for
just about everything.
7) TaskPLUS - Calendar program with alarm, can't live without it, schedule
everything on this sucker
8) GPG + WinPT front end - Good PGP replacement, GPL licence works great for
all your encryption needs, WinPT is very easy to use drag and drop type
system.
9) VNC - Remote desktop control
10) OpenSSH - Secure shell for remote command line, file transfer, etc., and
can pipe other services (like VNC) for extra security.
11) Wordweb - Dictionary & Thesarus
12) Jabber - Good instant messaging system, we use it on our intranet, I
have a write up on how to install the whole system.
13) PasswordSafe - Securely stores all your passwords using 448 blowfish
encryption
14) Zipcentral - Great replacement for winzip, better in my opinion
15) ActivePorts - Gui port to process matcher, nice for tracking down what's
going on
16) Packemon - Gui packet capture and analysis for seeing what's
transmitting on your network
17) MaxMem - Optimizes your memory usage, gives you that "just rebooted"
speed
18) Md5sum - Let you create and verify file checksums
19) ActiveState Perl - Best sysadmin tool yet, lets you glue all that other
junk together
20) ServiceMaker - Lets you turn any program into a service, very cool
There's more but those are the gems, what do you think?
