Now Micro, a leading provider of cutting-edge technology solutions and services, today released Now Micro Right Click Tools for the Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr). The comprehensive collection features more than 80 new and updated tools designed to assist helpdesk staff and systems administrators more effectively and efficiently manage large numbers of workstations and servers.

Microsoft MVP Kent Agerlund--a consultant, author, trainer, and event speaker specializing in System Center Solutions at Coretech--unveiled the Now Micro Right Click Tools today during his "Community Tools" session at the System Center Universe 2014 conference in Houston.

"Right click tools for Configuration Manager comes in many flavors and has been around for years, yet this new version is a milestone in the 'right click tool' era," said Agerlund. "Now Micro Right Click Tools not only looks at managing devices, but also integrates with common Active Directory user features like modifying group membership and changing passwords."

Originally created as the PowerShell Right Click Tools by Ryan Ephgrave, Systems Consultant at Now Micro, the Now Micro Right Click Tools has been re-written and expanded upon to further enhance the value of System Center 2012 ConfigMgr. Every business from a Fortune 500 company to a K-12 school district will be able to download Now Micro Right Click Tools at no charge to more easily maintain the health of its computers and servers.

"We are thrilled that Kent Agerlund is announcing this release and that we brought Ryan onboard to launch this product--enabling Now Micro to remain at the forefront of providing customers with cutting-edge technology and expertise around Microsoft ConfigMgr," said Patrick Finn, President at Now Micro. "By listening to the community and our customers, we pride ourselves on creating solutions, such as the Now Micro Right Click Tools, that drive better performance among our peers and customers."

Conveniently packaged in a two to three-megabyte file, Now Micro Right Click Tools can be downloaded in just a couple of minutes. At present, the collection has been downloaded nearly 24,000 times, and key benefits include the ability to see live data from one device or hundreds of devices, as well as trigger live actions to get the latest hardware inventory to ensure software update compliance.

"I am very excited to join the talented team at Now Micro and bring this powerful suite of tools to life," said Ephgrave.
