| | Microsoft Management Console - a Whatis.com definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | MMC was originally released as part of the Windows 98 Resource Kit, and is included on all later versions. |
 | | 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. |
 | | Consoles are used to manage Windows-based hardware, software, and networking components, and include items such as controls, wizards, tasks, documentation, and snap-ins which may be from Microsoft or other software vendors, or user-defined. |
