Sysinternals Video Library
The Sysinternals Video Library (published by David Solomon Expert Seminars) is set of six DVDs that cover essential
Windows troubleshooting topics (note: these are DVD videos - they can be
played on any DVD player; to play them on XP, you must have additional
DVD playback software installed).
Each video is personally presented by Mark Russinovich (Technical Fellow at Microsoft) and
David Solomon (noted
Windows internals expert and trainer), authors of the official Microsoft Press book on the Windows operating system,
Windows
Internals. They are known from past Microsoft
conferences to be especially informative and entertaining when
presenting together. One customer wrote after viewing the set:
The DVDs are high quality clear video and audio. Each video is
presented by both Mark Russinovich and David Solomon sitting side by
side each with a laptop in front of them. The audio is in stereo with
one of them on the left speaker and the other on the right (a nice
touch). The videos are very hands on with David and Mark using VMWare to
demonstrate each of the tools and problems. The presenters do a great
job at zooming into the video at the appropriate moments so that you can
see the commands being typed, or the output of a command.
NOTE: The
Sysinternals Video Library was shot on XP - most of the content is still
relevant except for the video on Filemon/Regmon, since it has been
replaced by Process Monitor. However, you can view several free
webcasts that cover using Process Monitor for troubleshooting: see the
Case of the Unexplained series on Sysinternals. At the moment we don't have plans to release new videos.
The entire Tour of the Sysinternals Tools video as well as samples of the other titles are available for free download. For more information on each title, or to view or download a sample,
