Save your workspace

The view of nodes, services, tools, and messages that you see in your console has been preconfigured by your administrator, but you are free to make certain changes to customize your display. You can save the changed configuration to use again.

You might want to save your workspace if you have:

• Filtered the display of messages in the browser to show only messages of a certain severity, ownership, or certain period of time.
• Modified the sort order of the received time and date column. The sort order of the other columns is not saved.
• Added, removed, or rearranged console views and want to preserve the views to use the next time your workspace file (.msc) is loaded.

To save changes to your workspace

1. From the console menu, select Save as to open the Save as...dialog box.
2. Type a name for your customized view with the file extension .msc.
3. Specify the directory where you want to keep the file.
4. Click OK to confirm your selections and close the dialog box.

You can return to any customized view you create by opening its .msc file. Select File Open from the MMC console menu to open a saved view.
