NUTS ~~~~ Release 2.29 - April 2005. 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. BALM ver 1.0 - Blocked Attachment List Manager, for Outlook Express ver 6. BALMNE ver 1.0 - Blocked Attachment List Manager, for NAVMSE (Norton Anti Virus for MS Exchange). Note - this utility is **NOT!!** compatible with SAFMSE 3.x nor with SMSMSE 4.x! However it can still be used for testing attachment blocking on mail servers. FAILOG ver 1.2 - A VBS script to monitor failed logon events. Please note that this script causes high CPU usage when running for several minutes. See FAILOG-README.TXT for more info. GetMEM ver 1.1 - 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. InternetExplorerUserSettings.ADM ver 1.0 - A GPO template, to set Internet Explorer "Temporary Internet Files" folder location and size limit. KIT ver 1.53 - 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. MMM ver 2.10 (previously named MM or M) - For any network with Win9x/NT/2000/XP/2003 clients. With this tool you can replicate (mirror) a selected folder/drive from server to a workstation, for backup purpose. MAILIT ver 2.0 - 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 2000/2003 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 2.2 - For any network with Win9x/NT/2K/XP 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, or as a custom template for Group Policy. TestFile ver 1.02 - For any network with Win9x/NT/2000/XP 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. TSLOGGER.CMD ver 1.1 - For Windows 2000 Terminal Server administrators. This is a batch file that can be used to log client connections to a Terminal Server. To use it, you should place TSLOGGER.CMD in a seperate folder like C:\TSLOGGER, and create a shortcut to it in the All Users\Programs\Startup menu or launch it in a different way. Recommended NTFS permissions are: TSLOGGER.CMD : Administrators=FC, Users=Read Only. TSLOGGER.LOG : Administrators=FC, Users=Write. You should open TSLOGGER.CMD in notepad, view/edit it as needed. In addition it is recommended to use NT Auditing for Logon/Logoff events. EXCHANCE.CMD ver 1.21 - 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. STOPPER.CMD ver 1.00 - A batch file for shutting down SBS2003 servers, by stopping MS Exchange services first.
