SharePoint Feature Administration and Clean Up Tool

Please visit the feature admin web site at www.featureadmin.com

This is a tool to manage SharePoint features. It allows you to

• See and search available feature definitions
• Quickly get to and search within all locations, where features can be activated in SharePoint (Farm, Web Apps, Sites, Webs)
• Identify, where which features are activated
• Identify and cleanup orphaned/faulty/broken features and feature definitions that often cause issues (e.g. when installing CUs or when exporting and importing sites)
• Activate, Deactivate and Upgrade features (even in multiple locations (bulk), when selecting a parent location)
• Uninstall feature definitions

Get the modern FeatureAdmin 3, which automatically identifies your SharePoint 2013+ farm. If no SharePoint installation is found, it automatically switches to demo mode.

• Once started, asynchronously loads all feature definitions, locations (farm, web apps, site collections, webs) and all activated features
