In this lab we used Windows Sysinternal tools, which are free admin utilities from Microsoft.

• Psinfo: Psinfo is a command line tool that outputs information about the system. This information includes uptime, kernel version, product information, system information, processor information, etc.
• PSList: PSList outputs the processes that are currently running.
• DiskUtility (DiskUsage): The DiskUsage tool outputs the space usage for the directory and subdirectories.
• Hex2dec: This tool is a calculator that translates between Hexadecimal and decimal in the command-line.
• Desktops: Desktops is a tool that allows you to have up to 4 virtual desktops.
• Whois: Whois is a tool that outputs domain info such as domain name or IP address for whatever website you put in.

We used all of the above tools in this lab. This lab was pretty easy. The only struggle I had was when I tried to use the virtual desktop tool in my VM, and navigated to a different desktop it took me to a dark screen that no amount of troubleshooting could get me out of.
