MMC Overview
You can use Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to create, save, and open
administrative tools (called MMC consoles) that manage the hardware, software,
and network components of your Windows system. MMC is a feature of the
Windows 2000 operating system, but you can also run MMC on Windows NT,
Windows 95, and Windows 98 operating systems. In addition, MMC is a feature of
several software applications designed to run on Windows.
MMC does not perform administrative functions, but hosts tools that do. The
primary type of tool you can add to a console is called a snap-in. Other items
that you can add include ActiveX controls, links to Web pages, folders, taskpad
views, and tasks.
There are two general ways that you can use MMC: in user mode, working
with existing MMC consoles to administer a system, or in author mode,
creating new consoles or modifying existing MMC consoles. For more information
about the differences between user and author mode, see MMC Console access options.
