Hard to believe, but there are already more than 200 reviews of free admin tools on 4sysops. I want to thank all of you who have submitted their favorite tools and also those who rated the utilities.

It is difficult to find the appropriate tool in such a long list. Thus, some readers have suggested categorizing all tools. Actually, all tools had been tagged, but the problem was displaying them automatically according to their tags and ratings. I had to code a little to make this possible.

I originally didn’t tag the tools for this purpose, so some tools might not be categorized perfectly. If you spot a tool that would fit better in another group please notify me. Please note that a tool can be in multiple categories. I am also open to suggestions for new categories. And if you find tools that are no longer free or you spot any error, I would appreciate it if you leave me a message.

23 great free Windows management utilities have been submitted. Thanks a lot! Since it is a bit cumbersome for you to check whenever there is a new tool, I will post the new submissions in an article every now and then. This post contains all the tools submitted so far, but if you want to link to them, you should take the original article because that will be updated continuously.

Update: Please use the new form to submit a free Windows admin tool.

I would like to create a list of the best free tools for Windows administrators. For this, I need your help. My own list is probably not representative and I am sure there are many great utilities I have never heard of. So if you know one or two great admin tools and you can spare a little of your precious time, then you could fill out the form below. Every tool will be listed as soon I had to time to check if the submission isn’t just SPAM.
