Right Click Tools

Recast Community Automation Repo Now Available 

Topics: Right Click Tools

Manual scripting slows projects, introduces typos, and drains team bandwidth. Right-click automation via Right Click Tools Builder fixes that—if you have the right templates. 

Today we’re opening our new Community Recast Automation Repository so every Right Click Tools Enterprise customer can save time, cut risk, and share know-how. 

Shared Library, Shared Gains 

The Community Recast Automation Repository is a growing collection of Recast Builder XML files—everything from quick-hit device actions to multi-step deployment workflows. All templates carry the permissive MIT license and are “use at your own risk.” You stay in control: inspect, edit, and test before production. 

How This Community Repo Helps

  • Hours back, instantly: Drop a vetted workflow into Builder instead of recreating it from scratch. 
  • Fewer mistakes: Proven logic reduces copy-paste errors in PowerShell or WMI calls. 
  • Continuous improvement: Fork, tweak, and send a pull request so everyone benefits.

        Internal engineers call this one a must-have. The Application Deployment Collections Tool:

        1. Prompts for a predefined list of collections. 
        2. Adds the selected device to the chosen collection. 
        3. Waits 10 seconds. 
        4. Triggers Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation. 

        Why the Application Deployment Collections Tool Helps You 

        • One click to kick off an app deployment—no console digging.   
        • Ensures policy hits immediately, shrinking deployment windows. 
        • Works on any device you right-click, directly inside ConfigMgr or Intune-managed scope via Right Click Tools. 

        Copy the XML, import it, and see how fast an app rollout can be.
