Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer) is an advanced Active Directory (AD) viewer and editor. You can use AD Explorer to easily navigate an AD database, define favorite locations, view object properties and attributes without having to open dialog boxes, edit permissions, view an object's schema, and execute sophisticated searches that you can save and re-execute.
AD Explorer also includes the ability to save snapshots of an AD database for off-line viewing and comparisons. When you load a saved snapshot, you can navigate and explorer it as you would a live database. If you have two snapshots of an AD database you can use AD Explorer's comparison functionality to see what objects, attributes and security permissions changed between them.

How to Backup using Batch Files
Sometimes it is useful, or even necessary to simply copy existing directories to another hard disk or network drive, rather than using more complicated backup methods. Multiple directories can be backed up comparatively easy with a simple click, by creating and running a batch file. That file can be executed manually from your desktop, can be added to startup or scheduled for periodic execution as needed.
Batch files have comparatively easy syntax and can have many uses, so this method could also be a good learning experience by example. You can simply copy the text below, and paste it into Notepad. Create a new file with either .bat or .cmd extension, rather than txt.

How to repair a corrupt Outlook pst or ost file
Have you found that your Outlook takes forever to open or opens in safe mode or recovery every time, or gives you errors, fails to send? Then you need to run the INBOX REPAIR TOOL.
With the INBOX REPAIR TOOL you can recover folders and items from a corrupted Personal Folders (.pst) file or offline folder (.ost) file in Microsoft Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003, and Outlook 2007.
I find it best to create a new pst/ost file first so you can use your outlook to send and receive while you fix your corrupt file.
You will need to run Scanpst.exe, which is a hidden file that is installed automatically when you install Windows. You can search for it by name showing hidden files when you do. You will need to know where your pst/ost file is so find that path out before you start.
