NUTS ~~~~ Release 2.01 - February 2001 Network administrators UTilities Set, is a collections of some of my programs, most of them created "by demand" when a friend or myself had a need for them. All of the bundled programs are freeware. Some of the programs are under first BETA stages, some are more mature. Here is a list of the programs, with a short description. Most of the programs have a TXT file and/or About box, with more specific details: ALO ver 1.2 - Auto Log On. For NT4/Win2K (Server and WKS) - Skip the logon dialog with predefined UserName/Password. This utility can also handle empty (blank) password. GetMEM - For any Win9x/NT/2000 machine. A utility to assist IT support diagnosing virtual memory problems. The program simulates a memory intensive application with manual setting of the memory demand. KIT ver 1.3 - For any TCP/IP network. Keep In Touch with your servers over the Internet/Intranet. This utility will ping the specified hosts, and will alert you by external program or email when any host online status changes. MM ver 1.2 (previously named M) - For any network with Win9x/NT/2000 clients. With this tool you can replicate (mirror) a selected folder/drive from server to a workstation, for backup purpose. MAILIT ver 1.01 - A command line utility to send email (SMTP) using batch files. See MAILIT.TXT and MAILTEST.BAT for more info. NetRun ver 0.4 - For any network with Win9x/NT/2000 clients. A utility to launch from login scripts that can schedule actions on client computers such as backing up system/data files, anti virus updates, or RunOnce push installations. Version 0.4 and above includes an option to run a program as a different user on NT4 clients. NewUser ver 1.0 - For Windows 2000 server (Domain Controller only). This tiny VBscript allows you to quickly add new users to a Windows 2000 domain. Much faster then "Active Directory Users and Computers". The script MUST be manually edited and tuned for your needs. NoScript.ADM ver 1.0 - For Win98/NT clients (not tested with Win2000 clients yet). This is a custom template for Poledit (System Policy Editor). With it a network administrator can centrally disable VBS and other script files, from running on client machines. This can help protecting your network from new viruses of this kind. Permiter ver 1.62 - For Windows NT 4.0 (English/other language). Allows modifying NTFS folder permissions for individual user/group, without affecting other permission on same and nested folders. RegToAdm ver 1.01 - For any network with Win9x/NT clients. Convert a REG file (exported from Regedit), to a simple custom ADM template, that can be used in Poledit for distribution of registry settings on the network. TestFile ver 1.02 - For any network with Win9x/NT/2000 clients. A very simple and basic performance test, that can be used on any file sharing network for PC (NT, Netware, Win9x, and other). The program runs on a Win9x workstation, and simply times save and read file operations. The results are far from being scientific, but can be used as a "first impression"... No need to set up a responder or special server program. EXCHANCE.CMD ver 1.2 - For MS Exchange 5.x server administrators. A sample CMD file for automatic offline backup of MS Exchange server 5.x . Important - You must read, edit and debug this file before production use. Also included in the NUTS folder is EXDEFRAG.CMD for compacting Exchange databases.
