Frequently Asked Questions

What are these admin tools and why do I need them?

These are specialized PowerShell scripts and applications designed to automate and simplify IT management tasks. They help IT administrators save time on repetitive tasks, reduce manual errors, generate detailed reports, and manage infrastructure at scale. These free, open-source tools extend native capabilities and make complex operations more accessible.

Are these admin tools really free?

Yes, all tools featured on this site are completely free and open-source. They are available on GitHub under permissive licenses that allow you to use, modify, and distribute them without any cost. The tools are developed and maintained as community contributions to help IT administrators worldwide.

Do I need programming knowledge to use these tools?

While basic PowerShell knowledge is helpful, most tools are designed to be user-friendly and come with detailed documentation and step-by-step instructions. Many tools feature graphical user interfaces (GUI) that make them accessible even if you're not comfortable with command-line interfaces. Each tool's GitHub repository includes comprehensive guides to help you get started.

Which tool should I start with?

Choose based on your most pressing management challenge. For device management, start with the Assignment Checker. For macOS environments, IntuneBrew or IntuneMacAdmins are ideal. For identity documentation, try Entra Documentation or Intune Documentation. For automation, explore Agents For Admins or KQL Search. If you need device lifecycle management, the Device Offboarding Manager is essential.

How often are these tools updated?

All tools marked as "Actively Maintained" receive regular updates to support new features, security improvements, and bug fixes. Updates are released as needed, typically when significant platform changes occur or when community members report issues or request features. You can track updates by watching the GitHub repositories.

Can I use these tools in my enterprise environment?

Absolutely. These tools are designed for enterprise use and are already deployed in organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. They follow Microsoft security best practices, support certificate-based authentication, and can be integrated with Azure Automation for scheduled execution. Always test in a non-production environment first and review your organization's security policies.
