Install Right Click Tools for Intune - Community Edition

Recast Software Version 5.8.2501 introduces Right Click Tools for Intune, which can be accessed using the Right Click Tools browser extension. This add-on, which is currently available for Microsoft Edge, enables you to run familiar Right Click Tools from within the Microsoft Intune Admin Center and other interfaces. You can expect that each action will function from within Intune as it does when running it within the Configuration Manager console. 

The browser extension currently supports a limited set of tools for Microsoft Entra hybrid joined devices and Entra joined devices. Future releases will add to the number of actions that can be run on those devices. We welcome your input and feature requests in the Recast Software Ideas Portal.
