  • The Support Tools—The product CD-ROM contains the standard troubleshooting tools that all advanced administrators use.
  • The Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads)—This site is Microsoft's portal for all things downloadable. Also available at this location are the Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx).
  • The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit, which you can also access at the Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en)—Here's where you can find just about every other Windows tool.
