The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a component of modern Microsoft Windows Operating System s. First introduced with the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, it provides system administrators and advanced users with a flexible interface through which they may configure and monitor the system. Most of Microsoft's administration tools included with both Windows itself, and Windows Server System products are implemented as MMC "snap-ins". Third-parties can also implement their own snap-ins using the MMC Application Programming Interface s published at MSDN . The most prolific MMC is ''Computer Management'', which appears in the Administrative Tools folder in the Control Panel (Windows) . Computer Management is actually a collection of MMC snap-ins, including the Device Manager , Disk Defragmenter , Internet Information Services , Disk Management, Event Viewer, Local Users and Groups, Shared Folders, and other tools. Computer Management can also be pointed at another Windows machine altogether, allowing for monitoring and configuration of other computers on the local network that the user has access to. Other MMC consoles in common use include:
