In the Microsoft Management Console, how do I add a snap-in?

The Microsoft Management Console (MMC) provides a location for you to use administrative tools called snap-ins. Snap-ins allow you to administer computers, services, system components, and networks. To add a snap-in:

1. Open the MMC. (From the Start menu, select Run... . Then type mmc and click OK.)
   
   
2. From the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in.
   
   
3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, click Add.
   
   
4. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog box, click the snap-in you want to add to the console and click Add.
   
   
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add additional snap-ins to a single console.
   
   
6. Click Close, and then click OK to use the snap-ins you just added.
