IIS Diagnostic Toolkit - Reloaded

Last year, Microsoft released the first version of IIS diagnostics toolkits with
Log Parser 2.2
SMTPDiag 1.0
AuthDiag 1.0
SSLDiag 1.0 (Edited 18th Jan - It should be SSLDiag 1.1 with few enhancements, there's a typo in installation screen)

This morning, a new version of the toolkits was published at Microsoft Download. With additional members including:
DebugDiag 1.0 - [:D]Finally - this is RTM !!!!
and Wfetch 1.4 - A must have http connection troubleshooting tool. Old version can be found
here.
(Also, if you are deploying this on IIS 6 machine, you will see TraceDiag as well. This is the event tracing toolkit for IIS 6.0)

Wohooo... let's change the name for Log Parser and Web Fetch to:
LogDiag 2.2 and WebDiag 1.0 :) to complete the diagnostics toolkits family.

Anything else? Mm.... metabase? well, we got MetaEdit and Metabase Explorer which also do certain checking when it opens up the metabase...
Would be nice to see FTPDiag? to check on ftp user access right, isolation mode, permission, passive/active mode issue...
NNTPDiag? well - forget it. You won't see NNTP in IIS 7 I think......... shhhhhh...... shhhhh.... :p
So what else? ....  ConfigDiag? as IIS 7 is pretty much align with the web.config file style of asp.net 2.0.  or maybe ModuleDiag as IIS 7 enables you to include your own modules to extend the web server capability [:)]

Minor details:

You probably do not want to use the older versions of WFetch. There were some pretty bad bugs in there that were fixed in WFetch 1.4.

TraceDiag will only be available on WS03SP1 and later because ETW Tracing was introduced in IIS6 for SP1. I know because I had to make this versioning happen in the MSI. :-)
