The purpose of my app is to allow the IT Admin or Home User to just bring up this app, provide 95% of what is needed to administer the system.
The Server button brings up all the ???.msc’s that would be required to manage said button.
The problem I think is this, Microsoft may have changed some of those ???.msc’s to another name.
Basic button contains all the general stuff, Personalize, Backup, things like that
Security button contains all Security related matters
System button contains all the ‘system’ type stuff, Registry, Services, Group Policy editor and the like.
Networking button, all that is networking related (Not Server tho)
Hardware button all the hardware stuff, mouse, printers, device manager and the like
Additional button contains the rest, DirectX, folder options, etc.
Server button, the area in question

Why not just create a new MMC console and add all the snapins into it?

My application just kicks off the snap-in. eg.. mmc.exe ‘snap-in’… SInce my source for those snap-ins is over 2yrs old I wanted to know what the snap-ins are so I can change or leave alone the current ones I have coded.
For instance, my subroutine contains all the snap-ins by name, eg. secpol.msc, gpedit.msc, etc. The server snap-ins are the ones I don’t have access to.
So I was requesting the exact names of all the Server snap-ins. At which point my application will be able to access just about everything for Windows.
Thanks in advance.
