Microsoft Management Console

Microsoft

®

Management Console (MMC) is an extensible common presentation service for management

applications. MMC unifies and simplifies day-to-day system management tasks. It hosts tools and displays
them as consoles. These tools, consisting of one or more applications, are built with modules called snap-ins.
The snap-ins also can include additional extension snap-ins. Microsoft Management Console enables system
administrators to create special tools to delegate specific administrative tasks to users or groups. Microsoft
provides standard tools with the operating system that perform everyday administrative tasks that users need
to accomplish.

Task Orientation

The tools being defined to work with MMC are task oriented in
nature

—they cater to the task being performed rather than merely

displaying the raw objects that can be manipulated. Also, because
administrators can customize their own tools, using pieces from
various vendors, they can create tools that contain only the UI they
need to complete their tasks.

Integration

The UI for all the management tasks an administrator must
perform are collected into a single console. As new applications
are added to a computer or network, their administration is
integrated into the existing administration common console.

Customization of Consoles

Administrators can create custom consoles tailored to their
particular management needs. This is useful in enterprise
environments that divide administrator groups according to duties.
For example, you can create a custom console for software
installation and maintenance, another one for scripts
