Setup Information is available for the MMC snap-in on the Access Settings page. On the dashboard page, click the Access Settings tile to view the details.

You need to install and configure the Privilege Management MMC on the machine you will use to administer PMC policy.

The installation packages differ based on your operating system:

  • For 32-bit (x86) systems run PrivilegeManagementPolicyEditor_x86.exe.
  • For 64-bit (x64) systems run PrivilegeManagementPolicyEditor_x64.exe.

 

For compatible versions, please see the Release Notes.

Add and Configure the Privilege Management PMC Snap-in

You need to use the Privilege Management MMC PMC snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to manage policy for endpoints managed by PMC.

To load the Privilege Management PMC snap-in for the MMC:

  1. Run mmc.exe from the Start menu.
  2. Click File > Add/Remove Snap-in and select Privilege Management Settings (PMC). Click Add.
  3. Select the Privilege Management Settings (PMC) node and click PMC Connection under Settings.

Ensure you install the Privilege Management Settings (PMC) snap-in, rather than the Privilege Management Settings snap-in.

The next step is to configure the MMC to connect to PMC.
