AdminTrayTool is designed to complement existing IT service-management platforms rather than replace them.
IT administrators often switch between multiple management consoles, web portals, remote connections, scripts, and command-line tools throughout the day.
AdminTrayTool provides a single system-tray interface for launching and performing many of these common tasks.
One application. Multiple administration tools.
Manage Windows computers through:
- Active Directory Management
- MECM / SCCM Management
- Computer lookup
- OU searching
- Moving computers between organisational units
- MECM collection membership management
Manage individual Google Workspace Chromebooks using GAM7.
Features include:
- Search by Serial Number or Asset ID
- View Chromebook information
- View current Asset ID
- Update Asset ID
- Disable Chromebook
- Re-enable Chromebook
- Move Chromebook between organisational units
- Clear Profiles
- Powerwash Chromebook
Perform Chromebook operations against multiple devices using CSV files.
Supported actions include:
- Disable Chromebook
- Re-enable Chromebook
- Move to OU
- Powerwash
- Clear Profiles
- Update Asset ID
The bulk workflow is:
Select Action → Import CSV → Select Devices → Review → Execute → Export Results
Device checking is optional, allowing valid imported CSV files to be executed without first checking every device against Google Workspace.
Use GAM7 to add staff members to Google Workspace Groups.
Group templates can be configured for common staff roles, allowing multiple groups to be managed from a single operation.
Configure shortcuts for commonly used administration resources:
- Administration web portals
- Remote Desktop connections
- Local administration tools
- PuTTY
- PowerShell
AdminTrayTool includes an in-app configuration editor for:
- Administration web portals
- Remote Desktop connections
- Local administration tools
- Google Group templates
Application configuration is stored outside the installation directory so normal application upgrades do not replace it.
AdminTrayTool runs from the Windows system tray, providing quick access to commonly used IT administration tools.
Manage individual Google Workspace Chromebooks using GAM7.
Perform Chromebook administration tasks against multiple devices using CSV files.
Access Active Directory and MECM/SCCM management tools from one interface.
Download the latest release:
The release includes:
- MSI installer — recommended for normal installation
- Portable ZIP — for users who prefer a portable installation
AdminTrayTool supports in-place upgrades, so you can normally install a newer MSI over the existing installation without uninstalling the previous version.
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- Appropriate Windows permissions for the administration features being used
- Network access to the relevant management services
- GAM7 for Google Workspace features
GAM7 is bundled with the AdminTrayTool installer.
Google Workspace features require an appropriately configured GAM7 project and an authorized Google Workspace account.
Download the latest installer from the GitHub Releases page.
Run AdminTrayTool.msi and follow the installation prompts.
After installation, launch AdminTrayTool from the Start Menu and look for the application icon in the Windows system tray.
AdminTrayTool uses GAM7 for Google Workspace operations.
The first time you use a GAM7-powered feature, AdminTrayTool checks whether GAM7 is available and configured.
If GAM7 requires authentication, the OAuth process will guide you through signing in with your Google Workspace administrator account.
See the full GAM7 Setup & Troubleshooting guide.
Full documentation is available through the project's documentation site.

AdminTrayTool stores its application configuration in:
%ProgramData%\AdminTrayTool\
The main configuration files are:
config.json
groupTemplates.json
GAM7 maintains its own configuration separately under:
%USERPROFILE%\.gam\
AdminTrayTool supports in-place upgrades.
When a new version is released, install the newer MSI over the existing installation. You do not normally need to uninstall the previous version first.
Application configuration stored under %ProgramData%\AdminTrayTool\ is preserved during normal upgrades.
GAM7 authentication is maintained separately under the user's Windows profile.
AdminTrayTool is intended for IT administrators who already have the appropriate permissions to perform the requested operations.
The application does not grant additional Windows, Active Directory, MECM, or Google Workspace permissions.
Sensitive GAM7 authentication information should not be committed to source control or copied between users simply to avoid authentication.
In particular, do not commit client_secrets.json or OAuth tokens to the repository.
The installer directory contains the WiX installer project used to build the AdminTrayTool MSI.
See installer/README.md for local MSI build instructions and installer development notes.
