Mark's also giving sessions on using Sysinternals tools and startup and boot troubleshooting.
Process Explorer v8.33
This minor update includes bug fixes and now shows kernel-mode stacks in addition to user mode stacks for user-mode threads.
PsTools v2.0
PsExec, PsShutdown, PsInfo, PsPasswd, and PsGetsid all now take multiple computer names on their command lines
and send all non-data output to stderr instead of stdout so that redirection to
a file results in cleaner output. PsShutdown also adds options to shutdown at a specific time and to allow an interactive user to cancel a shutdown.
Handle v2.2
In order to better support terminal services Handle now shows the user name of processes owning handles when you search for a instances of an open handle.
