Console Manager for Windows
August 16, 2010
A console manager is a software program that has multiple interfaces (command window, telnet, and web browser) for a system administrator to control and monitor the environment of a computer or server. One example is the management console program by Microsoft known as MMC. This tool allows administrators to make customize administration tools and create flexible user interfaces.
The job of the Microsoft Management console is to simplify and unify everyday system managing tasks. It can host tools and then display them as consoles. This console manager also enables administrators to create specialized tools for administrator tasks assigned to specific groups or users. Microsoft provides standard programs and tools with the operating system, but sometimes unique tools are need for complex administrative tasks. A tool can be scaled down or up, customized, repackaged, or integrated into the operating system’s mainframe.
Most of the system tools in Microsoft windows are already in console form. The can be used independently or as a snap-in module with other applications. The preconfigured consoles are found with other system files, although the exact location may vary depending on the type of operating system. The majority of these consoles can be opened either through a manager program or by using a command line. A preconfigured console has more than enough tools than an average PC user will need, but an experienced administrator can take advantage of a console manager to create their own functions. You should exercise caution when dealing with system consoles, because it can destroy your operating system if done improperly.
