spawning mmc to a particular server or hosting remote console in an application
-
Our IT, a very elaborate production environment, is rather involved and I'm try to write a GUI front end that will help visualize the layout and help in troubleshooting. For remote consoles were using VNC, and it can be spawned from inside an application. But this does not appear to be the same case with Microsoft Management Console(MMC). How can I spawn a remote console to any server and get the GUI that I would get in MMC. Any direction would great. Technologies I may be missing etc. Thanks guys. Gregg

This question doesn't make sense. VNC will show you the remote desktop, NOT a single application. Sooooo you would just need to launch the MMC on the remote desktop and you'll see it. All it takes is a couple of mouse clicks on the remote machine. ...or am I missing something? For what you're talking about, we just use Terminals[^] and launch the MMC we want in the Start/Run box.

Hello Gregg, MMC is just a kind of Plattform. The Connection you want to do is not in the MMC, it is part of the Plugin what you load to your MMC. You can add for example the Plugin in for DHCP Management and while you add them, you can deceide, what server you want to connect with. Afterwards you can save this settings as "DHCPonMyServer.msc" file. If you want to run this Plugin on this server again, just run the MMC with this file as parameter. You can also add more than one Plugin to an MMC so you can create an individual MMC File for each of your server. Martin
