How to resolve “MMC cannot initialize snap-in.”
Windows 2012 R2. I have at least two snap ins which will not load, eventviewer and DFS management.
I have tried;
- SFC scannow
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Delete registry key/reboot.
- Deleted files in %AppData%\Microsoft\MMC
None of these worked, although the delete registry key trick was supposed to recreate the key automatically, it did not. I reloaded the .reg file.
Everything seems to work well on the server, I can access the event viewer from another server, and do not see any errors.
Where do I go from here?
I'd try a work-around;
Run mmc.exe\File\Add Remove snap-in\Event Viewer\Local Computer\Ok\Ok, File Save As test.msc
does it work?
When I "Run mmc.exe\File\Add Remove snap-in\" I get ;
I do not see the option to \Local Computer\Ok\Ok, File Save As test.msc.
In your picture bottom left list box click the Event Viewer then select Local Computer …………
