MMC stand for (Microsoft
Management Console) and is an application that provides a graphical-user
interface and a programming framework in which consoles can be created, saved,
and opened. It was originally released as part of the Windows 98 Resource Kit
and is included on all later versions with Multiple Document Interface which is
an environment similar to Microsoft's Windows Explorer. MMC is considered
to be a container for the actual operations and is known as a tools host. It
does not itself, provide management but rather a framework in which management
tools can operate.
