Updated PULIST.EXE?

The Windows 2000 Resource Kit includes PULIST.EXE, which displays the current process table, including owners for each process. I just discovered that this version is incompatible with Windows XP Professional.

I've installed both the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools and the Admin Pak and neither contain an updated version of PULIST.EXE. The MS website says that the full Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit (not just the "Tools" subset) is "not available yet"; and as far as I can tell, there will be no Windows XP Resource Kit (although Documentation is available).

Does anyone know the release status of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit? Can anyone confirm that it will definitely contain an updated PULIST.EXE? Or is there an unadvertised hotfix available to solve this problem? I'd rather not spend money on MS phone support to find out there's no fix...

Thanks in advance. (Peter)
 
Never mind, I ended up using pslist.exe from Sysinternals. Does the same thing as Microsoft's PULIST.EXE , plus works on remote machines, plus one version runs on all Windows versions, plus it's FREE.

"Thanks for all your help." ;^)
 
The unreleased portion of the W2k3 reskit is the documentation.
The tools are as they have been made available (there are always
some updates over time however).
XP ResKit is documentation only.
