The PPE Management Console

The PPE management console is a Microsoft Management Console snap-in that allows you to edit PPE's configuration. The management console is installed onto the domain controllers when PPE is installed, but you can also install the management console onto your computer if you would like to remotely configure PPE.

Start the PPE installer (PPE61.exe).
Read the license agreement carefully, and then click Yes if you accept all the license terms and conditions.
Select the Advanced option, and then click Next.
Double-click the PPE61.msi file.
Click Next when the PPE Installation Wizard opens.
Select I accept the license agreement, and then click Next.
Select the Custom option, and then click Next.
Click the icon beside the Password Policy Server feature, and then click Entire feature will be unavailable.



Click Next twice.

The management console images in this document are mostly taken from a computer running Windows Server 2003. Windows 2000 displays the management console differently to Windows 2003 and 2008, however the management console is used identically on all operating systems. The two images below show the PPE management console running on Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.
