Is computer management the same as the Microsoft Management Console

I've heard people refer to computer management in the MMC or Microsoft Management Console. What is the difference between the two, and why they are called the same thing?

This should help explain it.

  • McAfee file is not found when I try to start the services stopped in the Computer Management Console.

    McAfee services ceased.  When I go to Services and try to start I get an error 2, "the file is not found."  I look in the programs and the file seems to be there.  I believe that the services were stopped due to Game Booster (which has stopped some services when you are playing a game).  I had turned on Game Booster, then I shut down the system without return - turn off Game Booster I believe that some of my services won.

    How to enable access to the concole menagement computer which is limited by the policy snap-in?

    Hi Nikola Dragutinovic,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description, it seems that you do not want to activate the computer management console, which is limited by the policy snap-in. I'll be happy to help you with this problem.

    The setting of group policy to restrict users to the explicitly permitted snap-ins list lets you selectively enable or disable the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. However, before enabling this setting, you must activate the settings in the folder "restricted/permitted snap-ins" software snap-ins MMC that you want to use.

    I suggest you to follow the steps from the link and check if it helps.

    You must enable explicitly pluggable MMC that you want to use before you enable the group policy setting "Restrict users to the list of snap-ins explicitly allowed" in Windows XP and Windows Vista

    johncoxcpa,
    Well looking at the log you've posted, I came across this article:
    MSI (s) (2 c: D4) [22:29:29:073]: sequence number number for this installation system restore.
    This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator.
    c:\c17e5b6672c37d9f685b\Silverlight.msi

    So it seems that if your system has a software restriction policy installs.  You need to contact your IT Department. to learn about the changes to the policy will be to install Silverlight.

  • Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

    Another computer has the same IP address as mine, how can I change this?

    Original title: IP address

    Hi John,.

    Please go to the Microsoft Community Forum.

    IP (Internet Protocol) address for the other two computer cannot be the same.

    Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are required for each device that connects to the Internet. Them are a common shared resource that must be managed carefully in order to ensure the continued growth and stability of the Internet. Most of the Internet is currently treated with IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses. IPv6 addresses are also in use, but not yet to the same extent. IPv6 is a newer protocol, offering a much larger than IPv4 address pool

    However, you can try to reset TCP/IP on your computer.

    Check out the link provided and check if the problem persists.

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".
