Using the Microsoft Management Console

The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a tool used to create, save, and open collections of administrative tools, called consoles. Consoles contain items such as snap-ins, extension snap-ins, monitor controls, tasks, wizards, and documentation required to manage many of the hardware, software, and networking components of your Windows 2000 system. You can add items to an existing MMC console, or you can create new consoles and configure them to administer a specific system component.
