MMC is a component of Windows 2000 and its successors that provides system administrators and advanced users an interface for configuring and monitoring the system. You use Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to create, save and open administrative tools, called consoles, which manage the hardware, software, and network components of your Microsoft Windows operating system. MMC runs on all client operating systems that are currently supported.

Assume you have created an MMC Snap-Ins that will be used for daily tasks. Once you have the MMC configured the way you want, the MMC can be saved and used again later. To access the MMC, type MMC in the search window and double click or hit Enter.

  • Author mode: Allow any changes to be made by all users.
  • User mode: Full access: Nevertheless, Prevent changes to MMC console, add/remove snap-ins, etc. But all snap-in features can be accessed.
  • User mode: Limited access, multiple Windows: Different snap-ins can be opened in separate Windows under the same MMC console.
  • User mode: Limited access, single window: Does not allow additional Windows in the MMC console

Note: Therefore, If you were to add the remote Desktop Snap-Ins here in the MMC Console, some remote management functions will be disabled by default. Additionally, Kindly enable this via the Server Manager for each server added for remote connection.
