Understanding Creating Custom Management Console Configurations (MMC)





            MMC is an environment for loading snap-ins that provides administrative functionality. Its provides the basic framework for building an administrative tool, and snap-ins provide the specific functionality that is required to perform an administrative tasks. Most of the administrative tools in Windows 8.1 are snap-ins that are loaded into the MMC.
The Computer Management administrative tool is a combination of multiple snap-ins that are loaded into the MMC.
The snap-ins for managing Windows 8.1 are included as part of a Windows 8.1 installation. Snap-ins for managing specific apps typically are included as part of an installation for that app. For
example, the snap-in for managing Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is installed as an option from the
Exchange 2010 installation media.
            Not all snap-ins have a corresponding administrative tool. To use a snap-in that is not part of an existing administrative tool, you need to create a custom management console that includes the snap-in. Snap-ins that are not part of an administrative tool include:
• Certificates. Use this snap-in to manage certificates for users and the local computer.
• NAP Client Configuration. Use this snap-in to manage the client for Network Access Protection (NAP) to ensure computer health before network access is granted.
• Resultant Set of Policy. Use this snap-in to view reports on Group Policy application.
            We can also create a customized MMC configurations with snap-ins that you commonly use. Customized MMC configurations increase your productivity by eliminating the need to open multiple administrative tools. After you create a custom management console, you can save it as a .msc file. Once the .msc file is saved, you can reuse it later or share it with other administrators.
