'Features' of the FeatureAdmin Tool

  • Made for administrators: requires only .NET framework version 4.52, requires no administration
  • Once started, asynchronously loads all feature definitions, locations (farm, web apps, site collections, webs) and all activated features
  • Best if started as Administrator with farm admin rights, but FarmAdmin also tries to start with less privileges
  • PowerFul search and filter for features and locations, to find the features you are looking for
