The Blomsma Code - Microsoft Management Console

Friday, June 30, 2006

I had a need for knowing which Microsoft Management Console snap-in's are available. A little digging on the Internet gave me:

Certificates	certmgr.msc
Indexing Service	ciadv.msc
Computer Management	compmgmt.msc
Device Manager	devmgmt.msc
Disk Defragmenter	dfrg.msc
Disk Management	diskmgmt.msc
Event Viewer	eventvwr.msc
Shared Folders	fsmgmt.msc
Group Policy	gpedit.msc
Local Users and Groups	lusrmgr.msc
Removable Storage	ntmsmgr.msc
Removable Storage Operator Requests	ntmsoprq.msc
Performance	perfmon.msc
Resultant Set of Policy	rsop.msc
Local Security Settings	secpol.msc
Services	services.msc
Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI)	wmimgmt.msc
Component Services	comexp.msc

.msc files are associated with MMC, so you can just run them.

On my machine, WindowsXP SP2, the Component Services snap-in (comexp.msc) is located in c:\windows\system32\Com which means I can't just go to [Start][Run] and enter comexp.msc to start.

Updated 6/30/2006: As my friend Kishor correctly points out, it is possible to start the Component Services management console by running dcomcnfg.exe

To start the Component Services in XP you can try DCOMCNFG from the run window
