Introduction

External tools integrate the use of 3. party programs directly from the CapaInstaller Console.

Usage Examples:

Remotely control a device or computer
Reboot a remote computer
Ping or lookup a device or computer
View a remote log file on the selected computer

There is no need to open a command prompt and start typing commands! Once the command and parameters have been added as an External Tool, the functionality is available as a right-click menu entry for Computers, Mobile Devices, and Users!

Launching an External Tool

Go to Configuration Management
Locate a device, user, or computer
Right Click and expand the External Tools menu
Select the external tool from the list

^{Connecting to a remote client with a Remote Desktop external tool}

External tools that interact directly with client machines, such as Remote Desktop and the Remote Task Manager, can sometimes be blocked by Windows security settings, especially if a local firewall is running on the client. You may need to make special client configurations to ensure that they will accept your attempts to manage them with your external tools. Please see an up-to-date Windows reference for details about how to work with Windows security.
