Co-managed environments force admins to bounce between ConfigMgr and the Intune admin center for everyday maintenance. The Right Click Tools Community Edition browser extension places a set of familiar ConfigMgr actions directly in Intune, so you can trigger device tasks without changing consoles.
What Problems Does It Solve?
- Context switching: Triggering a hardware inventory or policy refresh normally requires opening the ConfigMgr console.
- Visibility gaps: Quick compliance checks on co-managed devices aren’t available natively in Intune.
- Time cost: Each extra hop adds minutes that scale with fleet size.
Key Functions Available in the Extension
Function | Where It Appears in Intune | Typical Use Case |
Hardware / Software Inventory | Device node > right-click | Validate inventory before reporting |
Policy Evaluation & Restart | Device node > right-click | Force-apply config changes |
Software Update Deployment Scan | Device node > right-click | Confirm patch status, then remediate |
All commands execute through the ConfigMgr agent, so they apply to co-managed devices only. Intune-only endpoints require Right Click Tools Enterprise licensing and a Recast Management Server connection (details below).

New Right Click Tools Community Features
May’s release added several new tools to the right-click workflow. Highlights below:
- Disable / Enable Devices in Active Directory: Make a device inactive in AD without deleting it, preserving its trust relationship. Useful when a laptop is lost, sent for repair, or under legal hold. Find it under Console Tools → Disable Device(s) in AD; re-enable from the same menu.
- Open Event Viewer: Start a remote Windows Event Viewer session for the selected device directly from the console—no RDP or MMC detour. Choose Console Tools → Open Event Viewer.
- Get User Profile Size / Delete Profile: Inside System Information → User Profiles, expand a profile and click Get User Profile Size to identify space hogs. Remove stale profiles with Delete—instantly clears disk and registry entries.
- View Disk Space Details: The System Information → Disks tab now shows free, used, and total space per drive, giving quick context when a deployment fails for lack of storage.
These additions push more security checks and housekeeping tasks into a single, streamlined menu—further reducing console switching and manual cleanup.
Installation Steps
- Download the extension from the Edge or Chrome Web Store.
- Request a new Community license key (covers both ConfigMgr and Intune editions).
- Sign in to Intune → Devices → select a co-managed device → right-click to view actions.
The extension checks the device’s management state before enabling each command, preventing unsupported operations.
Enterprise Edition
If your environment includes Intune-only devices or you need bulk actions across collections, the Enterprise edition unlocks the same functionality plus:
- Collection-wide actions
- Role-based access controls via Recast Management Server
- Custom script execution
Licensing is additive; the browser extension remains the same.
Next Steps
- Try the Community Edition on a test co-managed device.
- Verify that inventory and compliance actions complete from Intune.
- Evaluate whether Intune-only endpoints or bulk actions warrant Enterprise features.

Wrap-up
Right Click Tools Community Edition gives co-managed admins the Intune-side actions they’ve wanted without adding a new console to learn. Try it on a single device, measure the time you save, and let us know what else would streamline your workflow.
