MPS Reports are reports that gather diagnostic data for microsoft. I really like them because they include useful tools that you might want to use for your unattended install. The tools let you dump processes to a file, inspect the boot sector, export user accounts, etc.

This tool is also good to have on your cd, to help diagnose problems. I've used it in the past to find out what spyware is on a system.

Bump because these need to be more well known. They are very comprehensive and cover a wide range of diagnostics. Thanks for the link Gosh, it's appreciated along with all of your other hard work.

Just a little note for newbies:

One example to (unattendedly) install these little tools ...

copy all of the desired files from Microsoft page to the $OEM$\$$\System32 folder on your CD and they'll be available from everywhere by just typing their name in a DOS box or run-command in Start Menu.

Of course, you're free to put them in an own folder and/or link them using Windows shortcuts.
