New Features

Right Click Tools Enterprise

New Remote Registry Tool

You can now run familiar Remote Registry actions (such as creating, editing, and deleting registry keys and values) on remote devices without a direct network connection. The Remote Registry tool functions optimally when used with Right Click Tools Enterprise and the Recast Agent component. To learn more, see Remote Registry.

This feature requires an update to browser extension version 3.3.0.0.

• In the Community edition, as well as in Right Click Tools Enterprise Standalone, the RCT Remote Registry tool will exhibit the same direct network connectivity limitations as Windows Remote Registry. 
• Remote Tools are not available to customers with Right Click Tools Enterprise Legacy licensing.

MCP Server Integration

You can now use natural language in AI environments, such as VC Code and GitHub Copilot, to retrieve live data about your environment. This integration is available to Right Click Tools Enterprise customers and Community users. The RCT actions you can run via the MCP Server align with your existing permissions, routes, and licensing.

Right Click Tools Insights

User Inventory Data Cleanup

Our new inventory schedule automatically cleans up old user inventory data for the following EI classes: EI_UserARP, EI_UserDrive, EI_UserODBC, EI_UserPrinter. Previously, inventory class cleanup in Insights relied on an existing ConfigMgr inventory tool, which wasn't as thorough.

Right Click Tools Patching

Include Legacy CSM Applications in a Deployment Process

Patching now detects and displays legacy applications from Centero Software Manager and allows you to migrate these to ConfigMgr and Intune deployment processes. There is also the option to prevent supersedences from being created for applications imported by Centero Software Manager. See also Add an Application to a Deployment Process.

Bug Fixes

Right Click Tools

Actions

• Remote File Explorer: ConfigMgr log files now open successfully without the following error message: Failed to download file. The remote file appears to be locked or in use by another process.  (Customer-Reported Bug 89476)
• Entra ID Security Group:  The tool runs just once, instead of multiple time, when more than one Entra ID service connection is defined in RMS.
• Ping Systems: When running the action against multiple devices, results are correctly split into separate columns instead of being jumbled together in a single column.
• Console Extension: When the 'Use FQDN instead of name when connecting to computers' option is disabled, the FQDN is no longer used. (Customer-Reported Bug 65611)
• Kiosk Management: Logging displays as expected after adding or removing a kiosk profile. 

Recast Management Server

• Permissions: If you granted user permissions to groups rather than individual users, you can now access the Recast Management Server interface and use Right Click Tools connected to the RMS without seeing an 'Insufficient Recast Permissions' error. This issue affected customers who upgraded to v.5.12.2607. (Customer-Reported Bug 89645)
• Audit Log: The scheduled audit log cleaning task no longer times out after 10 minutes, ensuring that the database cleanup completes. (Customer-Reported Bug 84211)
• Silent Agent Install: Agent installation no longer fails. (Customer-Reported Bug 13319)
• Silent Agent Gateway Install: The Agent Gateway now honors parameters instead of overriding them. (Customer-Reported Bug 87013)
• Agent Connectivity: An Agent is able to establish and maintain a connection to an Agent Gateway or Recast Management Server without having to manually delete the SQLite file.
• Agent Details: The name of the computer on which the Agent is installed now displays properly on the RMS Agents page if the screen resolution is small or browser zoom is set at 100%.

Insights

• Setup: In the Insight installer, the SSRS Reader Group now appears as expected when enabling the option to create SSRS reports. (Customer-Reported Bug 15044) 
• Reports: Computer Software Details and List of Computers by Software (x64 only) correctly display the Local System rather than the Local User. (Customer-Reported Bug 65510)

Release Date: July 27, 2026
Right Click Tools Version 5.12.2607.2401 includes new features for Right Click Tools Patching, Insights, Privileged Access, Recast Management Server, and Right Click Tools Enterprise & Community. This release also includes a number of bug fixes.

You can find instructions for installing this version in our articles on updating Right Click Tools, Insights, Privileged Access, and Patching.

New Features

Right Click Tools Patching

Run Intune Deployment Processes in Update Mode

This highly-requested feature makes it easier to maintain the security and compliance of Intune-managed devices. As an admin, you can now target broader groups and consolidate multiple deployment processes while RCT Patching requirement rules ensure that updates only install on devices that need a newer version. For details, see Create a Software Update Process for Intune.

Add Custom Text to an Application Name

You can now include custom text in the information displayed as an application name. Previously, the application name format could only include pre-defined fields. See Application Information.  

Recast Management Server

Enroll Recast Agents over an Agent Gateway

You can now enroll Recast Agents via Agent Gateway, meaning that you can register devices with Recast Agent installed without the need for direct line of sight to your self-hosted Recast Management Server. This feature resolves a significant challenge for remote or internet-based devices.

This method of enrolling Recast Agents, which also works for Recast Proxies and Recast Agent Gateways, requires the use of enrollment keys, which allow for secure authentication without relying on same-domain trust or manual approval in RMS.

Learn more about registering Agents, Proxies, and Agent Gateways with RMS using enrollment keys.

NOTE: The existing Recast Agent/Proxy/Agent Gateway enrollment method, which requires a connection to your Recast Management Server, will continue to function as usual. You can switch to enrolling these Recast components via Agent Gateway whenever it suits.

Run Microsoft Graph Actions over an Internal Recast Proxy Route

The new Internal Microsoft Graph route removes the need to set up a separate proxy for Graph-specific actions.

NOTE: If you have an existing Recast Proxy route set up, your Patching deployments will continue to function without disruption. You can switch to using the Internal Microsoft Graph route at any time.

Username and Quick Links on the Recast Management Server Homepage

In the upper right-hand corner of our redesigned RMS homepage, you'll now see the name of the user who is currently signed in. Open the drop-down menu for quick links to the Recast Help Center, the Recast Ideas Portal, and the Recast Support page, or to sign out of your Recast Management Server.

Right Click Tools Enterprise & Community

New Remote Tool: Remote File Explorer (Preview)

You can now browse and manage files securely on remote devices even where direct network connectivity, permissions, or tooling limitations prevent reliable access. The Remote File Explorer works best when used with the Recast Agent component in Right Click Tools Enterprise. This feature requires an update to browser extension version 3.2.0.0. For more information, see Remote File Explorer (Preview).

Limitations

• In Right Click Tools Community, expect the RCT Remote File Explorer to have the same direct network connectivity limitations as the equivalent feature in Microsoft Windows. 
• Remote Tools are not available to customers with Right Click Tools Enterprise Legacy licensing.

Right Click Tools Insights

Rate Limiting on Device Inventory Requests

We've implemented rate limiting on the HTTP connections needed to request inventory information for Agent-based devices. Rate limiting concurrent connections helps ensure that the SQL server isn't overloaded when many Agents attempt to send inventory data at the same time.

Right Click Tools Privileged Access

Refresh Recast Agent Settings

You can manually trigger a settings refresh for a specified Recast Agent instead of waiting up to an hour for Agent settings to refresh automatically. For details, see Refresh Agent Settings.

Improved Privileged Access Performance

Privileged Access now resolves membership information using existing Recast Management Server data rather than live directory queries that require Proxy requests. The result is a significant performance improvement in environments that include on‑premises AD–joined devices.

NOTE: Customers can also change the default client settings behavior so that hybrid joined devices will not perform Entra ID Proxy calls when identifying device settings. To edit the default, go to Administration > Settings, and change the Privilege Manager ForceHybridDevicestoOnPremAD setting to 'True'.

Bug Fixes

Right Click Tools

Schedule Shutdown/Restart:  You can now enter a date and time without a 'Failed to parse start date and time' error. (Customer-Reported Bug 86575)

SQL Database Connection: Right Click Tools can now connect to the RecastManagementServer database without returning errors. (Customer-Reported Bug 85771)

Right Click Tools Browser Extension: The Recast icon now appears as expected when viewing Intune's new single device details page.

Patching

Application Import:

• Attempting to reimport applications into Intune no longer causes RCT Patching to return an error or remove the application from Intune. (Customer-Reported Bug 82932)
• Application imports that run longer than the 12-minute timeout period no longer produce indefinitely repeating reimports.
• A failed application import correctly displays an Error or Warning status.

Deployment Processes: 

• The Deployment Processes page now displays the Date Processed in the appropriate date format for regions outside the United States. (Customer-Reported Bug 70956)
• The option to run all or pause all deployments no longer appears when the list of deployment processes is empty.
• The total deployment process duration on the Gantt chart updates properly after removing deployment steps.
• When editing User Experience settings, the 'Save & Close' button is available.
• When deleting an email template, you are first asked to confirm the deletion.
• When selecting applications for a deployment process, duplicate entries no longer appear when the table is sorted according to both the vendor and application names.

Environment: When returning to the Select Environment step, the previously selected environment now displays as expected.

Inheritance Settings: The Inheritance side panel now displays the correct titles for settings.

Applications: When selecting applications for a deployment process, you'll no longer see duplicate entries when the table is sorted according to both the vendor and application names.

Environment: the previously selected environment is not shown when the user goes back to the first step Select Environment - the environment is still selected but not shown.

Privileged Access

Right Click Tools Performance: A new randomized polling interval window distributes Privileged Access settings checks more evenly over time and significantly reduces load spikes on Recast Management Server and Recast Proxy components. (Customer-Reported Bug 84848)

Database Cleanup: Privileged Access now removes duplicate rows within database tables that contain more than a million rows. This database cleanup aims to prevent the Recast Management Server upgrade issues that can happen when large database loads produce timeouts.

Recast Agents: Agents now respect settings configured for the client.

Known Issues

Insights Device Inventory Data Delay

To improve RMS database performance, we've completed a schema update. This schema update will clear inventory data for devices already in the database, meaning that after you upgrade your Recast Management Server to this software version, devices will only display the details available on the General tab until the device inventory runs again, which occurs once every 24 hours.

Task Schedule Randomness

Upgrading to this version will cause task schedules to be re-assigned to a random time between 10pm and 3am. For assistance resetting your task schedules back to specific times, contact Recast Support.

Remote File Explorer Error When File is Open

If you attempt to browse to a remote file that is open, you will see the following error: 'Failed to download file. The remote file appears to be locked or in use by another process.' At this time, the only option is to wait until the process has stopped. 

Right Click Tools Actions Do Not Complete for Privileged Access Customers

Customers licensed for Privileged Access may encounter an issue in which Recast Agents appear as 'Connected' in RMS but stop responding to Right Click Tools actions. The same issue produces an Invalid column name 'SettingsIntervalRangeMigrated' error in Privileged Access and errors in the RMS logs. For assistance with a workaround, contact Recast Support.

You may also notice

Updated Recast Branding

You'll see an updated Recast icon, styling and colors in Right Click Tools Patching, Privileged Access, and the RCT Browser Extension. Those same changes also now appear across portal login and logout pages, portal emails, and the password reset success page.

Changes to Scheduled Tasks for Kiosks

The Kiosk Management Scheduled Tasks and Scheduled Tasks Results tools no longer appear under Kiosk Profiles. New visibility into scheduled tasks for kiosks will be added to a future release. In the meantime, we suggest using the Applied Profile Status tool for information about profiles applied to devices or a device collection.
