Как запустить консоль управления windows

MSC в Windows расшифровывается как Microsoft System Console, еще проще это окна или как их еще называют оснастки, для управления теми или иными функциями операционной системы. Ранее я вас уже знакомил с методом создания удобной оснастки mmc, в которой мы добавляли все, что нужно системному администратору для повседневного администрирования.

И вы наверно спросите, а при чем тут командная строка и все такое, а вот при чем. Представим себе ситуацию, у вас в организации существует домен Active Directory, рядовые пользователи не имеют прав локального администратора на своих рабочих станциях, все идет и работает как часы, случается ситуация, что например вам нужно у пользователя поменять какие либо настройки, и сделать нужно сейчас, так что искать эти настройки в групповой политике нет времени. Что делать заходить под собой не вариант, так как нужно произвести изменения в другом профиле пользователя, и как открыть например оснастку Управление компьютером или Система.

Во тут нам и поможет знание названия msc windows оснасток и командная строка. Все что вам нужно это открыть командную строку от имени администратора (найти, набираем cmd и правой кнопкой выбираем “Запустить от имени администратора”), 

далее ввести нужное название msc оснастки в командной строке. Ниже представлен список. Как видите открыв командную строку cmd.exe я для примера ввел значение открывающее панель управления с правами администратора системы.

What is Microsoft Management Console?

Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is an effective tool for managing and configuring Windows operating systems. It provides a single interface to access and control multiple system tools, services, and applications. Thus, users save time and effort in managing multiple tasks.

Users can create custom consoles, called snap-ins, in MMC. They contain specialized administrative tools. Snap-ins can be added or removed from the console. This enables a personalized management experience.

MMC provides a framework for Microsoft and third-party applications to integrate their management tools. This eliminates the need to switch between utilities and makes the admin process simpler.

MMC is extensible. Administrators can develop custom snap-ins to meet their particular needs. This makes sure that MMC is adaptable to changing business requirements and provides a tailored management solution.

Did you know that the first version of MMC was released in 1996? It came with Windows NT 4.0. Initially, it was just a basic shell for administrative tools. But it evolved quickly into a more functional console. With each new Windows version, MMC has been updated with better features and user interfaces.

How to Use and Navigate the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

At first, the MMC interface may seem a little confusing. The interface is mostly blank because you need to individually add the Windows tools you plan to access using the Microsoft Management Console. Each shortcut is referred to as a «snap-in.» These snap-ins are the actual administrative tools that you can use to configure your computer and its software components.

You can also create consoles that contain a specific set of snap-ins that are related to each other. For example, you could create a console that helps you manage your hardware components. It could contain tools such as the Device Manager and Event Viewer and can act as another way to open the Disk Management utility.

How to Add or Remove Snap-Ins

When you launch MMC for the first time, there will be no snap-ins added to the Console Root folder on the navigation bar on the left. Adding or removing snap-ins is a breeze, just follow these steps:

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

1. Launch Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
2. Click on File, below the title bar.
3. Click on Add/Remove snap-in or you can use the shortcut CTRL + M.
4. On the next window, select the snap-in from the list of available snap-ins.
5. Click on Add.
6. In the next window, choose whether you want the snap-in to manage this computer or another computer.
7. Be sure to check the option: Allow the selected computer to be changed when launching from the command line.
8. Click on Finish.
9. Click on OK.

To remove snap-ins:

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

1. Navigate to File > Add/remove snap-in… or press CTRL+M.
2. In the window that opens, click on the snap-in you want to remove. You can find your added snap-ins under the Selected snap-ins: section.
3. Now, click on Remove, next to the section.
4. The snap-in will be removed.

How to Edit Snap-In Extensions

Most snap-ins will contain various extensions that help you manage different aspects of the snap-in. For example, the Computer Management snap-in contains various extensions such as the Performance Monitor, Disk Management, Event Viewer, and many more. However, you may not want to use all of them.

In this case, you can edit, or remove these extensions:

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

1. Go to File > Add/remove snap-in.
2. Under the Selected snap-ins section, select the snap-in you want to change.
3. Click on Edit Extensions.
4. In the new window, choose the Enable only selected extensions option.
5. Select or unselect the extensions from the list, and then click OK.
6. Again, click OK on the Add/remove snap-ins window.

Sometimes, the extensions themselves may have sub-extensions. To enable or disable these sub-extensions, select the extension from the list, and click on Edit Extensions at the bottom of the window.

Using Snap-Ins to Manage Your Computer

After adding snap-ins, it’s fairly easy to use them to manage different aspects of your computer. Everything happens withing the MMC window itself, so you don’t have to deal with new windows when switching to other snap-ins.

To use snap-ins, just do the following:

Картинка с сайта: www.makeuseof.com

1. Simply click on any snap-in under the Console Root folder in the navigation pane.
2. You can either expand the snap-in by clicking on the drop-down arrow, or choose the sub options by double-clicking clicking them in the window on the right.
3. The selected snap-ins will open within the Microsoft Management Console itself.
4. You can also use the navigation buttons above the Console Root folder to show or hide the console tree, go up one level, etc.
5. Additionally, the Actions tab on the right replaces the options bar if you were to open the snap-in separately.

Essentially, all snap-ins function as they would if you accessed them independently.

A Single Interface to Manage Your Computer

As is evident by this article, the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) helps you access most Windows settings in a single interface. More importantly, MMC allows you to create customized management consoles that contain similar snap-ins. Additionally, you can also create custom consoles for other computers or users on your local network.

Despite being so useful, MMC is not widely used by the average Windows user. It is indeed one of the most overlooked features in Windows 10.

Windows включает в себя консоль различных инструментов, которые используются для управления и обслуживания системы. Консоль называется Microsoft Management Console (MMC), в которой размещаются и отображаются инструменты администрирования, созданные Microsoft и другими поставщиками программного обеспечения для Windows. Эти инструменты принято называть – оснастками. Используются они для управления оборудованием, сетевыми компонентами Windows и программным обеспечением.

Как открыть «Консоль управления Microsoft» в Windows 10
