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.
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.
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 administrators, another one for security Group Policy,
and so on.
Administrators can easily modify existing tools to create new
tools with reduced functionality and less complex views of
the tool namespace, and then give these tools to others. A
person who receives such a tool is presented with a simpler,
more manageable view of the tasks they are being asked to
perform.
Overall Interface Simplification
All tools built for MMC, from Microsoft or third-party software
vendors, will have a similar appearance, making it easier for
users to use all tools after learning one. Because you can
mix and match tools from any vendor, you can use the best
tool from each management product category. MMC also
enables a single pane of glass to provide functionality across
the interface in a consistent manner.
Developers can extend the base functionality of MMC snap-
ins by creating extension snap-ins. This allows software
vendors to reuse Microsoft tools without writing a lot of code.
Various mechanisms are available for extending snap-ins,
including extending the namespace, context menus,
toolbars, Property pages, and creating Aero Wizards-style
pages.
