Open a new Microsoft Management Console by running mmc.exe at a command
line.
On the Console menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in .
Click Add to display the installed snap-ins.
For each administration tool you want, click the snap-in, and then click
Add .
When you are finished, click Close .
here are the access modes you can configure for your snapin:
Author Mode: This mode allows the user access to all MMC functionality,
including the ability to add and remove snap-ins, create new windows, and
navigate all portions of the console tree.
User Mode - Full Access: This mode allows the user access to all MMC window
management functionality and full access to the console tree. It does not
allow the user to add or remove snap-ins or to change the console file
options. Save commands are removed from the menu because changes that do
not affect snap-in relationships are saved automatically.
User Mode - Limited Access, Multiple Window: This mode restricts the user's
ability to open new windows or gain access to areas of the console tree
that were not visible when the console file was saved. All restrictions in
place on full-access user mode console files also apply. Multiple child
windows are allowed, but users do not have the ability to close them.
User Mode - Limited Access, Single Window: This mode is similar to the mode
above, except that there is only a single window and the controls for
working with multiple windows are not present.
Note that this does not restrict the user's ability to create MMC consoles.
To do this, security on the snap-in extensions must be enforced to restrict
which snap-ins are available to the user. Snap-in extensions are installed
and registered locally on each computer. If the administrator creates an
MMC console on a local computer on which several snap-ins are registered,
and those are added to the console, the same snap-ins must be installed on
the client computer for the MMC console to display the extensions.
When you are finished, Click Save As on the Console menu. Specify a file
name and path for the MMC console. This file is saved with an .msc
extension and can be transferred to another user to open on a client
computer with the snap-ins preconfigured.
