Documentation

Save this as an XML file or remove the top ActionDescription tag and place the ActionGroups section into a pre-existing XML tool. Add this file to your XML console file x:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminUI\XmlStorage\Extensions\Actions\7ba8bf44-2344-4035-bdb4-16630291dcf6 You may want to add it to other computer nodes such as the query node Now you can right click on a computer and select Computer Management, much like you do in your DC (Manage Computer) or when you open the Control Panel and select Computer Management and then connect to remote computer. This way you can skip a few steps and make the Computer management mmc open with only the necessary machine. Granted this will only work if your account has the appropriate permissions to the machine. --Created by: Matthew Hudson
