Microsoft Management Console<\/b> (MMC<\/b>) provides an easy access to the administrator and advanced settings. Occasionally, you get an error that Microsoft Management Console<\/b> has stopped working upon opening. Here are the steps to get rid of this issue:<\/p>\n

\n

Management Console Slow?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Copy Missing IEFrame.dll File<\/h2>\n

This issue occurs when the original IEFrame.dll<\/b> file goes corrupt and as a result Windows<\/b> fails to load the contents of this file. Extract the original version from operating system installation media.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Insert Windows installation DVD\/ CD ROM <\/b>in your drive and restart the system.<\/li>\n
  2. Press F2<\/b> or Delete<\/b> key repeatedly until you come across the CMOS Configurations<\/b> screen.<\/li>\n
  3. Set the following configurations:
    \nFirst Boot Device: DVD\/ CD ROM Drive
    \n<\/strong>Second Boot Device: Hard Disk Drive<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Save the changes and exit.<\/li>\n
  5. Your computer will automatically restart. You\u2019ll get the Press any key to boot from CD <\/b>message on your screen. Press any key at that moment.<\/li>\n
  6. Once the setup loads, press Shift <\/b>+ F10<\/b> keys simultaneously.<\/li>\n
  7. Elevated Command Prompt<\/b> will now open. Type the following command and press Enter<\/b>:
    \ncopy ieframe.dll D:\\Windows\\System32<\/li>\n
  8. After the file is successfully copied, exit the setup wizard and restart your computer in Normal Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Restore Original Snap-Ins Information<\/h2>\n

    Snap-Ins<\/b> is a part of Microsoft Management Console<\/b>. Another likely cause why Management Console<\/b> has stopped responding is because the Snap-Ins<\/b>Registry<\/b> entries are corrupted.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Log-in to a normal working computer.<\/li>\n
    2. Press Windows Key <\/b>+ R<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    3. Type RegEdit<\/b> and click OK<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    4. Locate the following subkey:
      \nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Microsoft | MMC | SnapIns<\/b><\/li>\n
    5. Right-click Snap-Ins<\/b> and choose Export<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    6. Specify a name for the new Registry File<\/b>. For example Backup.reg<\/b> and click Save<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    7. Copy the newly created Registry File<\/b> to a removable storage device such as USB<\/b> stick. Now connect USB stick to the computer you intend to troubleshoot.<\/li>\n
    8. Open up the Registry Editor<\/b>. Click File <\/b>| Import<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    9. Locate the Backup.reg <\/b>file and click Open<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Provide Local\/ Remote Access to Users<\/h2>\n

      DCOM<\/b>-specific settings have to be changed in order to provide permissions to access local and remote data.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Type Dcomcnfg <\/b>and press Enter<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      2. This will open the Component Services<\/b> window.<\/li>\n
      3. Expand the following node:
        \nConsole Root | Component Services | Computers | My Computer<\/b><\/li>\n
      4. Now right-click My Computer<\/b>, select Properties<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      5. This will open up a new dialog. Click COM Security <\/b>tab.<\/li>\n
      6. Click Edit Default<\/b> under Access Permissions<\/b>.<\/li>\n
      7. Make sure all specified groups\/ usernames are allowed Local Access<\/b> as well as Remote Access<\/b>. To do so, select a group\/ username and check the Allow <\/b>box for both Local Access <\/b>and Remote Access<\/b> checkboxes.<\/li>\n
      8. Click OK <\/b>| OK<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
