Using Tools

Tools are popular sys admin utilities that can be run against individual computers, or in some cases, against groups of computers. In addition to the tools included with PDQ Inventory, you can create custom tools to integrate your favorite sys admin utilities with PDQ Inventory (Pro or Enterprise mode is required to use Custom Tools). Tools allow you to inspect certain elements of a computer, manage a computer, deploy a package using PDQ Deploy, remotely connect to a computer, or wake a machine that is Wake-on-LAN capable (Pro or Enterprise mode required for distributed Wake-on-LAN).
