Using Multiple Snap-ins Within a Single Console

MMC supports any combination of snap-ins within a single console window, which means you can dedicate a single console window to the Laserfiche Administration Console or you can combine it with other MMC snap-ins. A default administration installation of the Laserfiche Windows client provides a console window that is dedicated to the Laserfiche Administration Console. However, you can create your own MMC configuration with the administrative tools that you use most frequently. For example, you can configure a console window to contain the Laserfiche Administration Console, Services, or Event Viewer. The main advantage of this type of configuration is that it allows you to consolidate a variety of tools through which you can administer your Laserfiche installation into a single window.
