Save an MMC console file

Notes

To open a saved console in author mode, right-click the .msc file and then click "Author" or Click Start, then click Run, and type mmc path\filename.msc /a.
If the console is not opened in author mode, the Save option on the File menu is not available. In this case, saving is determined by whether the Do not save changes to this console check box was selected when the console was configured. This check box is available by clicking Options on the File menu. If this check box was not selected, changes to the console are automatically saved when you close MMC. If it was selected, changes to the console are discarded when you close MMC.
If a console is saved to the per-user Administrative Tools folder (located at %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\user\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools), it is then available in the Administrative Tools folder on the Programs menu for that user.
