To rename an item on the console tree of an MMC console

  1. Open a saved console in author mode by doing one of the following:

    • Right-click the .msc file, and then click Author.

    • Click Start, click Run, type mmc path**\**filename.msc /a, and then click OK.

  2. In the console tree, click the item that you want to rename.

  3. On the Action menu, click Rename, and then type the new name.

Note

  • Not all items in the console tree can be renamed. If the Rename command does not appear on the Action menu, you cannot rename the item.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
