Device Manager — without sitting at the user's desk

See every connected device on any remote Windows computer: printers, USB peripherals, network cards, sound cards, monitors, storage controllers. Identify driver versions, spot disconnected devices, and audit hardware without ever opening an RDP session — the full local Device Manager experience, delivered remotely.

All devicesDriver visibilityAudit-ready

Complete device tree

Every device category Device Manager would show locally — system devices, network adapters, USB controllers, printers, sound, video, human interface devices, storage. Full enumeration, remote.

Driver version tracking

View driver version, date, and provider for every device. Identify outdated, unsigned, or generic Microsoft fallback drivers across your fleet — proactively, not reactively.

Driver auditCompliance

USB & peripheral audit

Spot unauthorized USB devices, rogue Bluetooth adapters, or unusual peripherals. Critical for compliance audits and shadow-hardware detection in regulated environments.

USB auditSecurity

Print queue troubleshooting

Identify installed printers, drivers, and connection types. Diagnose printing issues without driving to the user — the most common help-desk ticket made remote.

Get going in under 60 seconds

From download to first result in five simple steps. No complex configuration, no firewall rules, no additional licensing.

  1. 1

    Install Free Windows Admin Tools

    Install the bundle on your admin workstation. No agent deployment to target PCs — installation takes under two minutes and requires no license key.

    Requirement: Install only on the admin's machine — target computers need no installation.
  2. 2

    Open Remote Device Manager from the sidebar

    Click Device Manager in the sidebar of the unified Free Windows Admin Tools console. The tool loads instantly alongside the other 14 utilities.

    Tip: Bookmark this tool for printer and USB tickets — both common help-desk requests.
  3. 3

    Select your Windows domain

    Domain-joined computers populate automatically from Active Directory. No CSV imports, no IP lists to maintain.

    Multi-domain? Switch between domains without restarting the tool — manage multiple forests from one console.
  4. 4

    Choose the computer you want to inspect

    Click the computer whose hardware you want to inspect. Use the search bar to filter by hostname or spot online machines with the green status indicator.

    Best practice: Pair with Currently Logged-on User to know who's affected by any driver changes.
  5. 5

    Browse devices by category and export

    Expand each category — view drivers, status, and identifiers. Export the full hardware report for audit or troubleshooting workflows.

    Going further: For automated driver updates and device control policies, upgrade to Endpoint Central (free for 25 endpoints).
