Many Right Click Tools use Remote Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to gather information and perform Configuration Manager client actions on devices.
NOTE: When configuring your clients to work with Right Click Tools Enterprise, Remote Registry must also be enabled. ICMP Echo can optionally be enabled to speed up actions for computers that are offline.
