Microsoft Management Console

I will continue with mmc.exe as we left with many things . After saving console on let say on desktop or on other desirable location. so now let's add tools so that we can use saved console for the purpose we created it. As you see in image how do we add Administrative tools.
on the right hand we have option to add tool , all you need to do just select the role and click on add and that role will be added. According to your wish you can move selected option up and down. in some tools you might get an option to chose that says do you want add the role on this local computer or on another. According to you work environment or your lab practice environment you can select. I have used both options and what my experience is when you doing it in a lab environment and you have one server and one client (joined domain) you can select the name of the computer , you have option to browse and select particular machine on which you  want tools be implemented. one thing I must mention here about the schema management if you don't find that option you will have to run a command "regsvr32.exe schmmgmt.dll" I am going to show you how to run that command so that you can have a better understaning
of this command. In the above image if you have a close look you will not find Active Directory Schema
Management.  so in order to add Schema Management you need type the mentioned command .
once you get the message that dllregisterserver in schmmgmt.dll succeeded. you will be able to see Active-
Directory Schma Management in console. Now you can say your console is ready. In previous as I promised about the mode of the console now I will let you know how to change the mode of the console.
in this image you can see by default Author mode is selected . As you can see the other mode. you can select
According to your wish. I would prefer to let you know the difference of mode

MODE USE WHEN
Author You want to continue customizing the console.
User Mode – Full Access You want users of the console to be able to navigate between
and use all snap-ins. Users cannot add or remove snap-ins or
change the properties of snap-ins or the console.
User Mode – Limited Access,multiple window
You want users to navigate to and use only the snap-ins that
you have made visible in the console tree, and you want
to preconfigure multiple windows that focus on specific
snap-ins. Users cannot open new windows.
User Mode – Limited
Access,single window
You want users to navigate to and use only the snap-ins that
you have made visible in the console tree within a single
window.
 you always need to remember that mmc has .msc file extension. One more thing you should always keep in
mind not to log on on a Server using your administrator account because an administrator has all the authority to perform any task and any changes on server. in case if something goes wrong you may damage something.
so the best practice to log on a server with an account which not a privileged .
