The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a component of modern Microsoft Windows operating systems that provides system administrators and advanced users with a flexible interface through which they may configure and monitor the system. The console allows you to bring various tools in one place using snap-ins. Third-parties can also implement their snap-ins using the MMC application programming interfaces published at MSDN.
