Cloud Extender Configuration Tool

Effective with Cloud Extender version 3.x, you must use the new version of the Cloud Extender Configuration Tool (ConfigTool.exe) to configure the Cloud Extender modules and to monitor the status of the Cloud Extender. The new Cloud Extender Configuration Tool (ConfigTool.exe) is located in the directory where you installed Cloud Extender (typically, C:\Program Files (x86)\MaaS360\Cloud Extender\ConfigTool.exe).
