System Center Configuration Manager & MDT Community Jewels (Tools)
Background
This page was inspired by a session given by Jörgen Nilsson and fellow MVP Stefan Schörling at the Swedish System Center User group which was called the Community Jewels – Community tools for Configuration Manager. Click here
They also presented on the topic at TechED North America and TechED Europe.
This Wiki page contains a good list of links to community tools for Configuration Manager and MDT.
Based on the feedback and the interest of these great tools this article contains a list here as a start to a Community list of tools that anyone can edit and add their favorite tool.
Thanks to everyone creating these awesome tools and thanks to everyone for contributing to this list!
These tools and many more can now be downloaded with just a few clicks using the System Center Store created by MVP Robert Marshall. Now you have one central place to keep up to date with the latest content and tooling.
