It can be installed both on the VMM Server host , or on any other computer systems from which the virtualization infrastructure is to be managed. While many of the components which make up VMM 2008 operate as background tasks, the VMM Administrator Console is the front end through which all management tasks are performed. This chapter provides a detailed overview of the VMM Administrator Console.

Selecting a combination of filters will limit the virtual machines displayed by the console to those which match matching the specified filtering criteria. Existing filter settings may be removed at any time by clicking on the ''Clear all'' link at the top of the filter pane.

* '''Table Columns''' - Depending on the currently selected view, the VMM Administrator Console may display a table containing information relevant to the view, for example containing information about virtual machines or hosts. The table will, by default, contain a number of different columns. The columns displayed may be configured by selecting the ''View->Columns'' menu option or clicking on ''Columns'' in the toolbar to display the ''Select Columns'' dialog. Alternatively, right clicking with the mouse on the column header in the table will display a list of options for changing the current column type.
