Is there a command line parameter to pass to the Computer Management snap-in
(compmgmt.msc) to connect to another PC?

Any help appreciated.
THANKS!

Can't find any docs that say it's possible to do this.

Hi, Ken. Create a new console and be sure to select the "Allow the selected
computer..." checkbox when you add the Computer Management snap-in. When
launching your snap-in from the command-line, use the following syntax:

mmc filename.msc /computer=computername

You can also use the console that comes with Windows:

mmc %systemroot%\system32\compmgmt.msc /computer=computername

I couldn't find this documented anywhere, so I just tried different options
until it worked. . . .
