10 Most Used Right Click Tools for ConfigMgr

Last year a community site was kind enough to share the 10 most used Right Click Tools, now we’re going to do a deeper dive into it, giving you a demo of each one. *

* 1, 3, 10 are closely related, so I’ll merge those into the same post, and since we’re cheating and merging a few, we’ll add a few bonus ones.

We’re going to demo each one quickly in my lab, but if you already use Right Click Tools, you’ll be very familiar with them, as you probably use many of these daily. If you have any questions about these tools, please reach out to us and we can setup a demo with you and your team.

Now, the top 10 tools of 2020:
‍

1. Machine Policy Retrieval and Evaluation Cycle
2. Connect to C$
3. Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle
4. Add Devices to Collection(s) | Remove Devices from Collection(s)
5. Remote Software Center
6. Deployment Launcher
7. System Information
8. Ping System(s)

10. Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle
