After you install the SMS tools you
want to use, you can access them by
navigating to the appropriate items in the SMS Administrator
console and by using SMS menu options. However, to access tools (or
snap-ins) that are not integrated with SMS, but that can run within
the SMS Administrator console, you must add them to the SMS
Administrator console after you have installed them.
To add a snap-in to the SMS
Administrator console, you must make sure that the console is in
Author mode. Perform steps 1 through 6 if the console is not in
Author mode. If the console is in Author mode, proceed to step 7.
(For more information about running the SMS Administrator console
in Author mode and creating custom consoles, see the MMC Help.)
