Utility Spotlight: Two for You

We’ve got two free utilities this month, both designed to make the life of an IT pro a little easier by helping you manage resources.

Over time, the network PCs in your organization may become cluttered with multiple user profiles, especially if they're shared computers used by many people. These profiles and their associated files and documents can easily eat up a sizable chunk of disk space. Lance Whitney describes a tool called User Profile Deletion Utility that helps you remove the inactive local profiles from computers in your environment.

The second utility actually consists of two scripts that together give you a nice way to build a report on CPU utilization in your organization. Read James Turner’s Faster CPU Utilization Reports Using Multithreading  to find out how the use of multithreading allows reports to be produced much faster.
