The Command Toolbox extension is designed for technicians who need to execute commands quickly across multiple machines—without the hassle of typing them out every time.

Why Use It?
- Saves time by eliminating repetitive typing.
- Reduces errors with standardized command sets.
- Improves efficiency for IT teams managing large environments.
Pro Tip
Pairing Command Toolbox with ConnectWise Sidekick takes automation to the next level. Sidekick can intelligently suggest or execute commands from your toolbox based on the context of the session, making your workflow even faster and smarter.

I love this extension!
It helped us tremendously with our Screenconnect server migration: Used it in our old server to install the new agent and cleanup the old one on all our ~500 endpoints in order to switch them over to our new screenconnect server in one go.
We currently use it with the Dynamic Custom Property extension to run a script on macOS devices that determine the custom property 4 (device-type).
You need the RunCommandOutsideSession privilege to use it on Guest-only connected endpoints.
