Yes, I know&#8230; *nix has it already built in&#8230; So what? So KIWI.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiwisyslog.com\/\">KIWI Syslog Daemon is a FREE Syslog server. <\/a> Okay. Some windows-admins are scratching their heads. <i>What about the Event Viewer? Isn&#8217;t everything there? <\/i> No, it&#8217;s not all there. Which Event Viewer records the information from your switches and routers? None. That information goes to a syslog server. Oh&#8230;you don&#8217;t have one on Windows&#8230; So you need this little proggie.<br \/>\nAlso to look at:<br \/>\nIf you go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/MSPress\/books\/1394.asp\">the Microsoft site<\/a>&#8230; you can find information about the Windows 2000 Resource Kit tools. The Resource Kit originally sold for $300&#8230;. but, now it&#8217;s down to only $200.<br \/>\nI have had the luck\/fortune to have this provided at a few of the networks I&#8217;ve managed\/administered. The books are good. Use them to study. You&#8217;ll see many of the obtuse questions from the exams in the footnotes of these books. I don&#8217;t think I know a single person who has ever read the whole kit. But, it&#8217;s a lofty goal nonetheless&#8230; ; )<br \/>\nThe tools on the CD are indispensible. Well&#8230;some of them I couldn&#8217;t give two hoots about. Others are a necessity. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows2000\/techinfo\/reskit\/rktour\/server\/S_tools.asp#\">Here&#8217;s a list of the tools included (and a short description). <\/a> For those less fortunate&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows2000\/techinfo\/reskit\/tools\/default.asp\">Here&#8217;s a list of the FREE tools from the kit.<\/a><br \/>\nJust some more things to fill your toolbox!
