Difficulty: EasyWindows Administrative and System Management Tools

A system administrator needs to create a custom Microsoft Management Console (MMC) interface that combines Performance Monitor and Services into a single view on a Windows 11 workstation. Arrange the steps in the correct order to successfully create and save this custom management console.

  1. 1Open the Run dialog (`Win + R`), type `mmc.exe`, and press Enter to launch an empty console window.
  2. 2Select the File menu from the top navigation bar and click Add/Remove Snap-in...
  3. 3Choose Performance Monitor and Services from the Available snap-ins list, click Add, and target the local computer.
  4. 4Click File, choose Save As, and save the custom console configuration file with an `.msc` extension.

Answer

The correct procedural order to create a custom Microsoft Management Console is: 1) Open the Run dialog and launch `mmc.exe`, 2) Access the File menu and choose Add/Remove Snap-in..., 3) Select Performance Monitor and Services, click Add, and set them to manage the local computer, and 4) Click File, select Save As, and save the console as an `.msc` file.
Building a custom Windows management interface requires starting the bare Microsoft Management Console (`mmc.exe`), opening the snap-in selection window via File > Add/Remove Snap-in..., adding the specific snap-ins (Performance Monitor and Services) to the local computer context, and saving the result as a custom `.msc` file for future access.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Launch the base Microsoft Management Console application.
An empty console shell opens with Console Root in the navigation pane.
The base executable `mmc.exe` must be running before custom snap-ins can be added.
2
Open the snap-in configuration dialogue box.
The Add or Remove Snap-ins management window opens.
This dialogue presents all registered Windows administrative snap-ins for selection.
3
Add Performance Monitor and Services to the Console Root.
The selected management utilities appear under the Console Root node.
Individual snap-ins must be selected and configured (e.g., set to local or remote computer) to establish console functionality.
4
Save the tailored console file.
A custom file with an `.msc` extension is saved to the chosen folder.
Saving the layout preserves the custom view so the administrator can launch it directly in the future.
