While it is a fantastic tool for troubleshooting Exchange, and that is what we will focus on here, trust me on this one…copy it to every system you use; server or desktop, and anything from Windows 7 to 2008 R2. Seriously, it’s a great tool that I use on every system, either by installing Dropbox  and putting the cmdlinetools folder into my path, keeping it in my homedir, or just copying it to %windir% on every server I build.

Great way to broaden your horizons and find a new favorite. Solid list! It’s sad how often these essential utilities are left out of the build process.
