Sysinternals Tools Updated

The following Sysinternals utilities and files have been updated:

PsTools v.2.42 All PsTools now support the switch '-accepteula' on the command-line in order to avoid breaking non-interactive scenarios (e.g. scripts and other automation)

PsExec v1.73 Supports the ability to run processes in the Local System account on the interactive desktop with the -s and -I switches.

PsGetSid v1.43 Fixes a bug where it wouldn’t correctly process multiple computers PsService v2.21 Adds support for reporting Windows Vista delayed autostart and pre-shutdown notification services

SysinternalsSuite Removed the BlueScreen Screen Saver from the Sysinternals Suite since some anti-virus packages were blocking access to the suite due to the screen saver's new malware status. The BlueScreen Screen Saver is still available as a download from its dedicated page here.
