How to save and stop modification to Microsoft Management Console

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.

Furthermore, I do not want any further modification of this file by the non-administrators who will be using it on a daily basis. However, To do this, follow the steps below.
– Click on File,
– Select Options

Moreover, This will open the options dialog box
– Under Console mode
Note: The icon and the name can also be changed here. Nonetheless, Select any of the modes and click on okay.

Consequently, The snap-in can be saved in different modes. Similarly, Before saving the MMC console, select file menu and then select options.

  • 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.

I hope you found this blog post on saving and stopping modifications to Microsoft Management Console helpful. Please let me know in the comment session if you have any questions.
