PStools used to be supplied and downloadable from sysinternals, however they merged with Microsoft, providing the windows administrator with the ability to carry out functions remotely or on a service easily and in a scripted form.

For example you might want to dump the event logs to a text file, so system eventlog to system.txt, this can be done manually by logging on to the server running the eventviewer and selecting save as and so on.

Or download and run psloglist >system.txt, it dumps the event logs to a file named system.txt, you can export the different eventlogs, application/system/security.

Additionally, there’s psexec – fantastic tool, in essence, run this against this server with these credentials, or psshutdown – THE way to reboot a server, it’s never failed me yet, pslist is also very cool.
