Monitoring
Thursday, 30 December 2004 by Michel Roth
When testing an application on a Terminal Server is important to know what your application does to your server. Unfortunately Windows doesn't always come with the best tools to do this. Here's a quick summary of tools that are used in the different fields of testing.

Registry Monitoring in real-time: Regmon (6.12) by Sysinternals
Registry Monitoring Snapshot-wise: Regshot (freeware / open source)

File Monitoring (real-time): FileMon (6.12) by Sysinternals

Process Monitoring (real-time): Process Explorer (8.61) by Sysinternals

Performance Monitoring: Good old Taskmanager by MS (quick and dirty) or Performance Monitor by MS (exhaustive).

So this is a very limited summary of tools that you could use. I'm aware that these products are nothing new, but I still think they pack the punch needed to monitor what you want. Of course everyone uses their own tools to do the job.
