The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

This article describes how to add other Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-ins, such as OLAP Services, Internet Information Server (IIS), Transaction Server, and so forth, to the SQL Enterprise Manager MMC.

By default the "sql server enterprise manager.msc" file sets the MMC console to user-mode, which means that other Snap-ins cannot be added. You will find only Options and Exit menu items on the Console menu.



If the MMC shell is opened in author-mode, additional Snap-ins may be added. To open the MMC shell in author-mode, from the Console menu, choose Options then select "Always open console in author mode". Exit and re-open the SQL Enterprise Manager MMC.

To add a Snap-in at this point, perform the following steps:

  1. From the MMC menu, choose Console and select Add/Remove Snap-in...


  2. Choose the Snap-in you wish to add from the list of available Snap-ins. Note that you can specify the location in which the Snap-in appears with the Snap-in added to: drop-down box.
