Windows MMC Customization

Issue:
Create a custom Microsfot Management Console with all of your favorite tools or customize one with restricted function for task delegation.

Quick/Visual/Learning:
Here is a link to Step-By-Step Guide

Custom consoles are saved as .msc files that can be shared via email, public file folder, or even through a policy.

Basically:
run mmc
Add your snapins

You can customize access with:
-multiple windows
-Extensions Tab allows you to remove functions
-Create Console Taskpads (with limited function)
--Right click on item in tree and select "New Taskpad"
---Wizard steps through creation of Taskpad
