Lesson 2 Review

1. What is the function of an MMC? Why is it necessary to create customized MMCs?

The MMC is a tool used to create, save, and open collections of administrative tools, which are called consoles. The console does not provide management functions itself, but is the program that hosts management applications called snap-ins. You create custom MMCs to perform a unique set of administrative tasks.
