Community contributions

Finally, as user group community leaders, we couldn't leave this section out of the troubleshooting toolkit. Configuration Manager has such a great collection of community contributors that have likely to have been through our troubleshooting pain before us and either blog about it, post it on a forum, or create a fix for it. There is such an array of free tools out there that people share that we cannot ignore them. Outside of troubleshooting specifically, some of the best add-ons available for Configuration Manager are community contributions, whether that be from individuals or businesses. There are so many utilities that are ever evolving and not all will suit your needs, but if we browse the Microsoft TechNet galleries, Codeplex, and GitHub, you are sure to find a great resource to meet your requirements. Why not get involved with a user group too? In terms of troubleshooting, this is probably one of the best things I personally could recommend. It gives access to a network of people who work on the same product as us and are often using them in the same way, so it is quite likely that someone has seen our problem before and can fast forward us to a solution.
