As you may have noticed, the MMC has been mentioned several times in this book since the first chapter. That is because MMC has accompanied the Windows operating system since its introduction with Windows 2000, and as such, it serves as a platform for the majority of administrative and management tools. MMC is the most preferred tool for system administrators and advanced users, because it provides an interface to configure and monitor Windows. MMC enables you to manage Windows 10 devices, both locally and over a network.
To access the MMC in your Windows 10 computer, complete the following steps:
- Press Windows key + R to open
Run
. - Enter
mmc.exe
and press Enter. - Click the Yes button when asked Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?
- Shortly after, the MMC opens up, as shown in Figure 15.16:
