A very basic centralized management for Windows Defenders. It is in BETA state, but it is usable.
It works only with Windows 10 Defenders.
Updated the code: it is now compatible with build 2004 and it uses multithreading to query the machines.
It uses PowerShell and SysInternalsSuite(PsExec.exe) to gather the information and it stores the data in a shared network drive (what the computers can access and have write access). It can store the data locally, if needed.
What are the "computer name" background colors?
-White: idle
-Green: querying state
-Pink: any other action besides querying
-Red: one or more protections are disabled
It can't show color on the highlighted row...
What is planned?
-to see the quarantine
-delete from quarantine
-whitelist from quarantine
What else?

interesting idea, but bad implementation! Who are you targeting? I don’t consider myself a beginner, but even I didn’t understand what should be specified in the settings that appear at the first start, but I kind of wrote more serious programs in Python. There is no manual. The password and login for remote access to the machine is understandable, but what is the working directory for? to Windows Defender? how do I know. I even searched for that "PCexec.exe" file of yours, but I couldn't find it. You either describe everything ok or do a normal setup wizard. Is it really that hard to do in Visual Studio?
