Microsoft Windows

Many of the services described in this chapter are traditionally provided by Unix systems. While more and more are becoming available, there aren't a lot of tools that currently run under Windows. One exception is nslookup, which is nearly identical to its Unix counterpart. Of course, the telnet-based testing will work as shown. And you can always test a Windows server from a Unix client. If you want Windows-based tools, the best place to start looking is in the appropriate Windows Resource Kit from Microsoft.
