4sysops - FREE: ManagePC – Inventory and manage PCs

Submitted by Joe

I couldn’t live without this marvelous little tool. Take any machine in any AD domain and it will display a plethora of data about it as well as letting you control services, uninstall software, create scheduled tasks as well run standard stuff like MMC consoles, VNC etc. For such a small application it’s amazing how many features are packed into it.

From the publisher’s site:

ManagePC is an open source .NET application for PC management in Windows environments.

Using ManagePC you can inventory all aspects of PCs on your domain including:

Hardware
Services
Software
Hot-Fixes
Processes
Local Users and Groups
Group Policies
Codecs
….and much more

Manage PC also lets you take control of PCs through familiar interfaces. Use remote desktop, VNC, reboot, start/stop services, uninstall software and more directly from the ManagePC interface.

Michael’s note:
Just in case you wonder how you can launch the tool after you installed it. You have to navigate to its program folder (C:\Program Files\ManagePC) and launch the executable (ManagePC.exe). The author forgot to add a link to the program in the Start Menu).
