[SysInternals](http://www.sysinternals.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org), a company founded by [Mark Russinovich](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark%5FRussinovich?ref=kudithipudi.org) and [Bryce Cogswell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce%5FCogswell?ref=kudithipudi.org), and later acquired by [Microsoft](http://www.microsoft.com/?ref=kudithipudi.org), produces some of the well known “must have” tools for a system administrator. Top on my list would be

- [Process Explorer](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx?ref=kudithipudi.org)
- [TCPView](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx?wt.svl=TechResources&ref=kudithipudi.org)

If a sys admin (esp Windows admin) says that they don’t know these tools.. don’t hire them :).
