MMC plugin

majkinetor · Post by *majkinetor » 2005-12-19, 08:23 UTC

Is there any MMC plugin.
I want to be able to browse MMC just like in My COmputer->Manage.
I know there are Device Manager, Services, etc... but I didn't find anything like this.

Is there any such thing ?

It would be very difficult plugin to write it. I think. Too many aspects to consider.

Hej Gral, this was an error caused by my slow Internet.
Don't worry it will not happen anymore. For now on, I will do n-tiplecheck of my messages.

I guess you have custom GUI's on mind, like DiskManagement have. This is implementation considiration however. Now if you could tell me all of those dificulties I would appriciate very much.

Yes. This is what I mean. Currently in Computer Management we have:

Event Viewer (plugin exists)
Shared Folders (plugin exists)
Local users and groups (no plugin)
Performance logs and alertns (no plugin, turned off usually)
Device Manager (plugin exists)
Removable storage (no plugin)
Disk Management (no plugin)
Services (plugin exists)
Indexing service (no plugin, turned off)

What else do you need? Disk management? Other things already implemented in stand alone plugins.

I need them all to be inside single plugin item. I don't want to have 10 plugs doing menagement all over network neiberhood (NN). When I think about this further more, I see that it would be cool to implement some kind of tree-like structuring inside NN, so we can place all plugins related to menagement to the same root (that would simulate mmc with already implemented plugins, and for those not yet written). This can be done via plugin or it should be implemented internally in TC.

About GUIs - I don't see why such plugins couldn't exist in TC (they should, if nothing else, then just for the sake of completeness). One could crate some kind of interface that will integrate GUI's into TC windows similar to what TConsole does.

The downside of all these plugins is that I need to start TC with administration rights to use them.

This idea could help here:

This is something I think about all the time. And not just that... THe plugin should be able to SET function keys. For instance, Delete should be renamed to KILL in acehelper, and View should be renamed to GeInfo.

If anyone has some ideas/comments/infos about MMC plugin implementation, let it speek them here.
